Serre-Green-Naghdi Dynamics under the Action of the Jeffreys’ Wind-Wave Interaction
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Review of “Serre-Green-Naghdi dynamics under the action of the Jeffreys’ wind-wave interaction” by M.A. Manna, A. Latifi
The study focuses on deriving a Serre-Green-Naghdi, nonlinear, dispersive and antidissipative system of equations in case of the surface waves dynamics under wind, in order to determine their amplitude, velocity and wave length evolution with time. It is a complex mathematical assessment, however, as stated by the authors, the study has not been verified experimentally due to the limitations of the mentioned experimental facility, which obviously is a minus. The main recommendation would be to introduce some sort of validation (the authors mentioned some possibilities at the end of the manuscript).

“The main recommendation would be to introduce some sort of validation (the authors mentioned some possibilities at the end of the manuscript).”
Our answer: In fact, in the case of h=0.14 m, we are at the measurability limit of existing facilities with a wind speed U10 = ±5 m/s. We suggest gradually increasing the wind speed U10 up to 10 m/s. Thus, we expect that in existing facilities, our theory can be confirmed.

What should authors do to improve the quality of the text of their work?
- It is necessary to take into account the recommendations of the scientific journal ‘Fluids’ on the content of the article. Perhaps chapters 2, 3, 4 should be merged into one chapter Materials and Methods.
Our answer: Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 have been merged in one main section called “Materials and Methods”. Former sections, appear now as subsections.
Hence following the recommendations of ‘Fluids’ journal, we have now the following sections: “introduction”, “Materials and Methods”, “Results” and “Conclusion”.
- It is definitely necessary to correct figures 1 and 2.
Our answer: The figures have been corrected. Now the text is perfectly legible.
- The chapter Introduction should be added the scientific articles for the last 5 years.
Our answer: A paragraph has been added in the Introduction, referring to recent works in this domain. Lines 51-56 in the new main text.
Round 2
Reviewer 2 Report
The scientific article is structured, which gives it a finished look of the study. I also note that the quality of the graphic material has been improved, which will help readers to better perceive the information. I would like to emphasize that in the first version of the article I had no comments regarding scientific novelty. The presented scientific work has theoretical and applied significance for science. After the corrections made, I recommend the article for publication.
