【 摘 要 】

In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, we replied to the comment on our published article Numerical study on pore clogging mechanism in pervious pavements (Zhang et al., 2018). First, we solved the problem about inappropriate descriptions to the cited papers and some errors in equations. Second, we explained the relationship between fluid cell size in CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and particle size in DEM (discrete element method) in our CFD-DEM model, and we verified the reliability and accuracy of our CFD-DEM model using single-particle sedimentation case. It demonstrated that the CFD-DEM method used in our study was acceptable.
