Abstract:

The authors of Ref. [1] would like to acknowledge the consideration Smol yakov and Tkachenko gave to their comments. As a preliminary, it should be noted that the aim of this publication is to propose a novel, alternative model established on a thorough set of experiments and interpretations, hoping that some members of the research community may nd it useful. With this intention, the authors attempted to de ne a set of fundamental parameters that determine the properties of a uctuating surface pressure eld in a low Mach number turbulent boundary layer. The importance and legitimacy of all previous work is by no means questioned in this paper, which should be seen as a proposed contribution to the advancement of knowledge in its area.
