We report in the Story 1 OpenFOAM simulations (snappyHexMesh/icoFoam) where the velocity and pressure iterative solvers have an exit criterion based on a tolerance set to 1.0E-06. We also ran...

Addressing reviewer comment # 6: > I wouldn’t use the term “discretization meshes” but rather a “mesh to use for discretization”. - We modified the term "discretization mesh". See [commit...

Addressing reviewer comment # 16: > The discussion around the failings of the published literature is quite good. It might be buoyed by some examples where the publication of negative...

Addressing comment # 12: > The linear algebra episode is a bit troubling and would seem to indicate some rather fundamental issues with the solver discretization. There may be a...

Addressing comment # 13: > The whole episode with the libraries seems to indicate that the problem you are solving is itself unstable. This is another place where the lack...

Addressing comments 3, 4, 8, and 10: These referee comments all bring up questions regarding uncertainty quantification and grid convergence. The response in the [comment above](https://github.com/barbagroup/snake-repro/issues/7#issuecomment-247144378) mentions one possible way...

Addressing reviewer comment # 2: > There should be some discussion about other efforts to compare > different codes on the same problem. In the late 90's, a project initiated...

Addressing reviewer comment # 3: > In "Story 1", the authors use the term "blow up" -- this should be > clarified The term "blow up" used in Story 1...

Addressing reviewer comment # 4: > In "Story 1", the authors devote a few paragraphs discussing mesh > quality -- figures showing these meshes need to be included in the...

Addressing reviewer comment # 5: > "advective" boundary conditions should be defined -- what is the > mathematical definition of this? The `advective` boundary condition implemented in OpenFOAM provides an...
