Reviewer 3 Report
- The flow rate Q is very important for experimental work. In addition, inflow discharge of sediment (Qs) is not considered in this paper. Thus, this paper mainly focuses on clear-water scour. This description could be added.
- Line 158, u* represents the mean bottom friction velocity, what is the definition of this variable?
- Line 160, please check the formula by “Rs = Bhs//(B+2hs)” ? Typing mistake?
- Lines 438-439, “may provide additional driving forces that maintains or enhance secondary flow motions.” Please add more descriptions about this result. Besides, please confirm whether the used auxiliary verb “may” is suitable?
