Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The complicated processes of wave energy dissipation have long been an important topic, especially for harbor design and coast protection. Wave energy dissipation can be caused by artificial structures (e.g., skirt structures, submerged breakwaters), natural permeable media (e.g., coral reefs, vegetation), bathymetric changes, surface friction, etc. during the propagation of waves. The purpose of the invited Special Issue, "Energy Dissipation During Wave Propagation", is to publish the latest and most exciting theoretical, experimental, and numerical research regarding theories, mechanisms, and possible applications related to wave energy dissipation in the scope of ocean and coastal engineering disciplines. High-quality papers are encouraged for publication concerning, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Wave shoaling and breaking;
  • Wave transformation;
  • Wave–structure interactions;
  • Wave-absorbing structures;
  • Coastal protection;
  • Nature-based coastal defense;
  • Marine and offshore renewable energy.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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 monthly journal published by MDPI.

This study investigates the combined effect of the breaking and energy dissipation of water waves by variable bottoms across the surf zone. The shoreline is set up as a partially reflecting vertical wall in the solution technique, with shelves between the steps that approximate the geometric profile of the varied bottom over the surf zone. The eigenfunctions over the shelves are matched on the connecting step using the conservations of mass and momentum. The impacts of breaking and energy dissipation are implemented in the proposed eigenfunction matching method using the energy-dissipation factors, which are modeled by empirical formulas. The proposed model is validated by comparing its results with the experimental data available in the literature. Some benchmark results of wave scattering by a rectangular breakwater near a partially reflecting vertical wall are provided and discussed. In addition, wave breaking and dissipation in the proposed model using different empirical formulas are discussed. Full article
