By SouadTahar, MounirZirari, Omar Labbadlia, KanitMukdasai, Younes Chiba.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the effort and expertise that you contribute to reviewing, for the careful reading of the manuscript and the constructive remarks., without which it would be impossible to maintain the high standards of peer-reviewed journals.

All of these comments were very helpful for revising and improving our paper. We have studied these comments carefully and have made corresponding corrections that we hope will meet with your approval.

Please find below a detailed point-by-point response to all comments (reviewer comments in black, our replies in blue).

We have included a “track changes” document of the manuscript in order to highlight the correction and the inserted information.

 

ABSTRACT:

  1. Page 1, Line 10. Sentence ‘in additive manufacturing…’ is hanging sentence. Need more
    explanation on how successive impact of the droplets affect the 3D printing and liquid metal
    projection processes.
  • We have revised the mentioned point. A paragraph has been added in the manuscript to clarify this point. (see page 1. Line 11 to 14).

    industries and academician.
  • We have revised the mentioned point. A paragraph has been added in the manuscript to clarify this point. (see page 1. Line 21 to 23).

  • We have revised the mentioned point. (see page 1 and Page 2)

 

  1. Suggest to rearrange the writing with one paragraph explain the works done by 1 article toavoid confusing. For example: Page 1, Line 34 ‘Min-xiaXue Yoav et al. [2] have…’ shouldallocate in new paragraph with sentences in Lines 36 to 41.
  • We have revised the mentioned point, (see pages 1 and 2. From line 40 to 47)
  1. Page 2, Line 51. Suggest to rephrase the words ‘this article’ which will make the readers
    confusing either ‘this article’ is refer to the ‘J. Ortega-Casanova and Al. [4]’ or thismanuscript.
  • We have revised the mentioned point,
  • ‘This article’ is refer to J. Ortega-Casanova and Al. [4]. (see page 2 Line 57)
  1. Last paragraph at Introduction section should write about the problems statement/ researchgap to focus in this study followed by the objective and little bit about the methodology that will be conducted in this research and impact to the society (related industries andacademician).
  • We have revised the mentioned point
  • the paragraph has been reworded, (see page 2. Line 72 to 81)

In the same line of research, the realization of numerical experiments by the volume of fluid (VOF) model is proposed in this study, which has been validated previously Zirari et al. [6]. The simultaneous impact of two drops of alumina on a steel substrate is proposed with the aim of better understanding the interaction between particles during the formation of lamella on an oxidized substrate as well as the impact of partially molten particles.

to

In the same line of research, the realization of numerical experiments by the finite element method is proposed in this study, the impact, the spreading and the solidification of an alumina particle on a rigid substrate, where the technique Eulerian volume of fluid (VOF) of two-phase flow is applied for boundary tracking. However, during the coating process, the impact of a partially melted particle on an oxidized substrate having asperities, on an industrial scale is always present, and which is a source of undesirable coating defect, in the objective to better understand the interaction of the presence of the particle fusion state, the oxidation and the surface roughness of the substrate, by proposing to carry them out by numerical simulations, and consequently to propose solutions validated experimentally.

Reviewer 2 Report

The article "The results and the findings presented in this article may be of interest. In particular, for future research in device cooling processes where temperature has an important role in their working behavior" is innovative and worth publishing. this article is interesting. Particularly for future research into equipment cooling processes where temperature plays an important role in operating behavior. The descriptions of Figures 1, 3, 4 are not in English and this needs to be improved.
