Cavitation Control in Marine Engineering: Modelling and Experiment

Dear Colleagues,

Cavitation is one of the most undesirable phenomena in different industrial applications such as marine engineering and hydraulic systems. The cavitation can induce significant erosion, vibration, noise and performance degradation on hydrofoils, rudders, propellers and hydraulic machinery components such as pump impeller and turbine blades which operate at different cavitating regimes. Despite a number of studies investigating cavitation control using passive and active control methods, comprehensive numerical and experimental data on the control of cavitation are still lacking in the literature.

This Special Issue aims to provide researchers with the opportunity to present their original works on numerical modeling and experimental study of the control of cavitation for different applications. Manuscripts can focus on fundamental research or applied research, e.g. cavitation control around hydrofoils and propellers; cavitation control using passive and active control methods; cavitation control in internal flows; control of unsteady cloud cavitation and cavitation inception; control of underwater radiated noise; control of cavitation-induced erosion; and control of cavitation-induced vibration.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
