In our paper Chuvakhov et al. (Reference Chuvakhov, Fedorov and Obraz2019), the energy equation (2.6) is written for the gas temperature T as

(1) \begin{align} \rho \left[ {\dfrac{{\partial T}}{{\partial t}} + {u_j}\dfrac{{\partial T}}{{\partial {r_j}}}} \right] & = \dfrac{1}{{PrRe}}\dfrac{\partial }{{\partial {r_j}}}\left( {\mu \dfrac{{\partial T}}{{\partial {r_j}}}} \right) + (\gamma - 1)M_\infty ^2\left( {\dfrac{{\partial p}}{{\partial t}} + {u_j}\dfrac{{\partial p}}{{\partial {r_j}}}} \right) + \dfrac{{(\gamma - 1)M_\infty ^2}}{{Re}}\varPhi \nonumber\\ & \quad + \dfrac{{{R_p}}}{{PrRe}}{{\bar{Q}}_p}\delta (\boldsymbol{r} - {\boldsymbol{r}_p}) + \underline {R_p^2(\gamma - 1)M_\infty ^2({u_{pj}} - {u_j}){{\bar{F}}_{pj}}\delta (\boldsymbol{r} - {\boldsymbol{r}_p})} , \end{align}

where underlined is the particle-induced source term associated with the drag force. This form is convenient for analyses of receptivity and stability problems (Fedorov Reference Fedorov2013). However, in our numerical simulations the energy equation is used in the conservative form

(2) \begin{align} \begin{aligned} \dfrac{{\partial \rho e}}{{\partial t}} + \dfrac{{\partial \rho {u_j}H}}{{\partial {r_j}}} & = \dfrac{1}{{Re}}\dfrac{\partial }{{\partial {r_j}}}\left( {\dfrac{\mu }{{(\gamma - 1)M_\infty^2Pr}}\dfrac{{\partial T}}{{\partial {r_j}}} + {\tau_{ij}}{u_j}} \right)\\ & \quad + \dfrac{{{R_p}}}{{(\gamma - 1)M_\infty ^2PrRe}}{{\bar{Q}}_p}\delta (\boldsymbol{r} - {\boldsymbol{r}_p}) + \underline {R_p^2{u_{pj}}{{\bar{F}}_{pj}}\delta (\boldsymbol{r} - {\boldsymbol{r}_p})} , \end{aligned} \end{align}

where $e = p/(\rho (\gamma - 1)) + 0.5{u_i}{u_i}$ is gas total energy per unit mass, and $H = e + p/\rho $ is total enthalpy per unit mass, and the underlined term represents the power per unit volume which is produced by the particle passing through the gas. In our computations the underlined term of (2) was erroneously replaced by the underlined term of (1). After correcting this error, our computations showed that the disturbance amplitude reduced by 2.7 times; see figure 1 that is the correct version of figure 10 of Chuvakhov et al. (Reference Chuvakhov, Fedorov and Obraz2019). Note that the theoretical distributions were not changed.
