Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, titled "Hybrid Analytical and Numerical Methods for Thermal and Energy Processes in Offshore and Coastal Engineering", is dedicated to the exploration of the integration of robust analytical methodologies with sophisticated numerical simulations to tackle the intricate multi-physics challenges inherent in offshore environments. The discipline is advancing beyond purely numerical techniques by harnessing the advantages of both analytical and numerical approaches to derive solutions that are not only more efficient and precise but also provide deeper physical insights. We are soliciting contributions that illustrate the innovation and application of these hybrid methods in addressing critical issues, such as the dynamic response of floating structures, vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), complex heat and mass transfer phenomena, fluid flow in microchannel and microsystem, and fluid–structure interaction. This Special Issue aspires to serve as a seminal reference for researchers and engineers engaged in developing high-fidelity, computationally efficient tools aimed at enhancing the design, analysis, and optimization of energy systems, thereby improving their performance, stability, and safety.

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-blind 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 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 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.
