A response to the discussion paper on "Numerical flow simulation of fresh concrete with viscous granular material model and smoothed particle hydrodynamics".

The parameter L 0 with a unit length (=1.0 m) was omitted in our paper, and the unit of loading speed s 1 and the expression of parameter c 7 were not shown, which result in that the dimensions of shear strain and shear strain rate shown in Eq.(16) were misinterpreted. In this response paper, we added the L 0 in the expressions of parameters c 6 and q , and explained the unit of s 1 , as well as gave the expression for the c 7. The addition of L 0 do not change the simulation results and conclusions of our paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
