CFD Analysis in Ocean Engineering

This special issue belongs to the section “Ocean Engineering“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

To accommodate our ever-increasing energy needs, the exploration of oil and natural gas is marching towards the deep sea, and tremendous efforts have been made towards developing viable renewable energy sources from the ocean, including wind, tidal current, and waves. It is utterly important and challenging to guarantee the safety of offshore structures constructed in the ocean for the purpose of extracting resources and energy from the deep sea. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is playing an increasingly important role in fundamental and applied research in ocean engineering. This special issue aims to collect articles that highlight research in ocean engineering through CFD analysis. It covers a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, wave dynamics, tidal current, offshore fluid-structure interaction, wave and tidal energy, and ship hydrodynamics. Papers that report new research methods, fundamental fluid mechanics, or applied research outcomes in relevant areas are welcome.

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.
