Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear wave–structure interactions have posed a variety of challenges for the design and analysis of marine offshore structures, especially for the fast development of offshore renewable energies. Studies of the nonlinear wave–structure interactions will contribute to the development of science and engineering in the offshore industry. Numerical simulations have become common for nonlinear analysis, and advanced numerical models with high efficiency, accuracy and robustness are in demand.
Aim and scope:
This Special Issue will focus on the study of water wave–structure interactions with attention to nonlinear effects. Recent developments of advanced numerical models and high-fidelity numerical simulations are encouraged to be reported. The Special Issue will cover the following topics:
- Nonlinear wave theory;
- Second-order and tertiary wave interactions;
- Higher harmonic effects on wave structure interactions;
- Breaking waves and waves slamming on structures;
- Boundary element method;
- Finite element method;
- Volume of fluid method;
- Spectral method;
- Computational fluid dynamics;
- Any other methods such as SPH and LBM

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.
