Advanced Research in Flexible Risers and Pipelines

Dear Colleagues,

With the continuous development of ocean resources, marine slender structures play crucial roles in the offshore industry. Flexible risers and pipelines have both been widely used for the subsea energy transportation with the rapid development of subsea engineering technology, and they are designed as fluid transportation tools between offshore production units for the conventional fuels industry. They are considered to be an efficient solution in terms of technical and economic performance due to their easy and fast laying procedure, durability and recoverability. As the design of flexible risers and pipelines continue to pose opportunities and challenges due to harsh marine environments, many researchers and engineers keep on exploring and advancing new design and analysis methods for flexible risers and pipelines. This Special Issue will focus on covering these topics to address the developments in the field.

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.
