The Use of Storm Models in Marine Engineering Practical Problems

Dear Colleagues,

The Marine Engineering community is giving great interest to ocean storms research and related topics. In particular, the storm approach via simplified models is taking wide applicability in the investigation of many practical problems. In this regard, there are many topics which need attention and deeper study. Among them are the use of storm models for long-term analysis in time and space-time domains, the calculation of design wave, fatigue analysis of marine structures, structural damage, downtime estimation for wave energy converters, and coastal erosion. 

The purpose of the invited Special Issue is to publish the most interesting papers on this topic in order to disseminate novel results freely to be shared with academia and industry.

High-quality papers investigating the mentioned topics and/or new related ones, as well as proposals of new approaches, are largely 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.
