Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is delighted to introduce a new Special Issue, “Advances in Marine Engineering Hydrodynamics, 2nd Edition”, building on the success of the previous edition with the same title.

Marine engineering hydrodynamics is the foundation of marine, ship, coastal, and offshore engineering, covering a wide range of topics related to ship hydrodynamics, ship structural mechanics, and fluid–structure interaction. In recent years, due to climate change and the development of ocean engineering, the subject of marine engineering hydrodynamics has received increasing attention, being widely applied in the fields of offshore renewable energy (wind, tidal, wave, multi-energy integrated system), marine equipment hydrodynamics (ship hydrodynamics, hydroelasticity, tank sloshing), polar engineering, marine aquaculture, coastal protection, marine environment, shipping, and more.

This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in theoretical, computational, and experimental contributions to all aspects of marine engineering hydrodynamics.

The impact-freezing phenomenon of supercooled saline droplets on cold surfaces poses a serious threat to the operational stability and structural integrity of offshore wind turbines. Compared to freshwater droplets, numerical models for analyzing the impact-freezing behavior of saline droplets typically involve complex physical mechanisms, resulting in high computational costs. This study employs a simplified two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical model that integrates the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method with the enthalpy–porosity approach, enabling rapid analysis of the saline droplet impact-freezing process under marine environmental conditions. The model is validated by comparing the spreading factor curve of saline droplets with a salinity of 35‰ against existing experimental data. Results show that the salinity corresponding to the peak relative deviation shifts with varying impact parameters, depending on the competition between impact dynamics and solidification. Furthermore, the maximum spreading factor decreases with increasing supercooling degree and contact angle but increases with higher Weber number. These findings provide useful correction parameters for improving existing droplet motion and icing prediction models. Full article
