Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breakwaters are characteristic maritime works, in addition to being basic infrastructure, for the creation of artificial sea and land areas such as ports. Given their importance, it is of particular interest to study in depth the hydrodynamic, structural, and constructive behaviour of breakwaters, as well as to analyse their function as a shelter for the port area. In the last decade, breakwater design has moved from traditional deterministic design to probabilistic design, where concepts such as uncertainty and risk can be quantified. Thus, we invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with an original research paper or a review article on one or more of the following topics:
- Coastal structures;
- Hydrodynamic behaviour;
- Hydraulic stability;
- Wave overtopping;
- Damage evolution and modelling;
- Risk evaluation and probabilistic design;
- Physical and numerical modelling.

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. 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.
