Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Marine renewables play a key role in the global goal of clean and sustainable energy generation. Computational modeling of fluid and its loading on these marine renewable energy devices, e.g., offshore wind/tidal/wave/solar, is essential. The recent development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), fluid–structure interactions, optimization techniques, and AI has provided a better understanding and design of the multiphysics problem. Nonetheless, there are still significant modeling challenges before marine renewables can meet our daily energy needs. This Special Issue invites researchers and engineers to publish the latest progress of computational simulations for marine renewables and explore the future directions. Suitable themes for the Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • High-fidelity computational techniques for floating wind, tidal, waves and solar;
  • CFD and numerical potential flow simulation;
  • Hydroelastic simulation, coupled fluid–structure simulation;
  • Low-order turbine model;
  • Wind farm aerodynamics simulation;
  • Numerical wave tank and wave–structure interactions;
  • Advanced parallel computing;
  • Machine learning in marine renewables.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fluids is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
