Computational Fluid Dynamics for Ocean Surface Waves

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in computational methods and computing infrastructure have made it possible to develop high-resolution models to represent ocean surface waves. Several new modelling approaches have been developed that have greatly advanced the understanding of the different large- and local-scale phenomena in the field of ocean surface waves. Computational Fluid Dynamics can resolve the different processes in wind-wave generation, momentum transfer, coupled interaction, wave breaking and extreme wave interaction. This covers many aspects in mathematics, physical science and engineering to obtain a better understanding of wave generation and extreme events in the ocean, improving the modelling of these events at different scales to obtain new insights into the important physical processes in the ocean environment. This Special Issue aims to publish the most relevant advanced methods and models for ocean wave modelling including the different topics in met-ocean research, free surface wave modelling and wave hydrodynamics. 

High quality papers are encouraged, directly related to various aspects, as mentioned below. Novel approaches, methods and techniques are encouraged.

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 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.
