Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper jmse-1715413 investigates the problem of ice loads acting on multiple vertical cylinders of circular cross sections frozen in an ice cover of infinite extent by the vertical mode method combined with an iterative method. Although the adopted method is not new in literature, the present paper is of interests due to the formulation and solving of the problem, providing a solution for other wave interaction of vertical cylinders problems.

Line 325 “All calculations in this paper are carried out with twenty iterations and the convergence of the iterative scheme is quite good.” How much were the computation effort were used? What is the elapsed time? In other words, please explain explicitly that the present iteration method converges much faster than Twersky's method.

Line 344 “This shows that the cylinders should be numbered according to their relative position with respect to the ambient incident wave direction: the closer the cylinder to the waves, the lower the number.” Before gaining this conclusion, results of the cylinder numbering 1-2-4-3, 1-4-2-3 should be investigated and compared.

Line 369 Use Conclusion instead of Discussion for the subtitle, where the content is for conclusion.

Round 2

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear authors,

thank you for taking the time to address diligently my comments. You answers are insightful, both the ones that you have included in the manuscript and the ones that you showed only in the "reply to the reviewer". Moreover, the new added text makes the article more explanatory to JMSE readers that are not experts in ice-related problems, increasing its overall value.
