Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Water waves are commonly used as examples of waves but “have all the complications that waves can have” as Prof. Richard Feynman pointed out in his Lectures on Physics. Starting from the mid-19th century, fundamental wave theories for deep and shallow waters were formulated, providing a mathematical framework for applications in physics and engineering. Nevertheless, despite the long history of wave modeling, physical modeling and field observations still provide much needed insight into the understanding of wave phenomena and future model developments.

This Special Issue of Fluids collects reviews and original research on recent developments in the modeling (numerical and physical) and observation of water wave phenomena. Specific topics may include wave breaking, nonlinear wave propagation, spectral wave modeling, wave turbulence, rogue waves, solitary waves, wave–current interaction, wave–structure interaction, wave impact force on structures, and wave energy conversion.

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.

The White Sea is a small shallow sea covered by ice in winter. There are very few numerical models of this sea. For the ice-free sea, much data has been collected, but for winter only a small amount (satellite data only). We use our finite-element numerical model Jasmine and satellite data to trace the ice advection and exchange between parts of the White Sea. The aim of the investigation is to adjust the model to adequately reproduce the White Sea ice dynamics. By comparing satellite data on sea-ice concentration with the model prediction, we show that the model describes sea-ice dynamics well, and use it to estimate ice flow from bays to the middle part of the sea and ice exchange through the narrow strait. Ice exchange between neighbouring parts of the sea is shown to be intensive, with large dispersion compared to the time-mean, and bays are shown to be ice producers, while the Gorlo straight is shown to accept ice. We demonstrate that the model is a tool that can be used to better understand the winter regime of the sea. Full article

Climate change has tremendous economic and environmental impacts on coastal areas and threatens human lives and livelihoods in generally densely populated coastal communities. Climate change-induced sea level rise (SLR) is a particular risk factor for coastal and low-lying areas. Therefore, the study on the overtopping of coastal structures in a changing climate is a critical topic for coastal protection and adaptation. As most coastal areas have shallow water conditions, the open-source nonhydrostatic shallow water equation-based model REEF3D::SFLOW is applied for the numerical investigation of overtopping over a coastal structure. Validation is performed by comparing the numerical estimations with the existing experiment presented by previous studies. The time evolution of overtopping can be predicted well by the numerical model in comparison to the experimental data. The computational speed is seen to be approximately 1500 times as fast as the Navier–Stokes equation-based counterparts. Thereafter, a comprehensive study on overtopping that takes into account different climate scenarios is presented with regard to the chosen coastal structure; this offers insights for future adaptations. The numerical approach provides an efficient alternative for the coastal protection structure adaptations in the changing climate. Full article
