Wave Phenomena in Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics

Dear Colleagues,

Wave phenomena in ship and marine hydrodynamics include flow interactions with marine vehicles, such as surface ships, submerged vehicles operating near the free-surface and offshore, and coastal structures—both fixed and floating ones. Some of the important topics are resistance and propulsion in waves, as well as controllability, wave loads, wave induced motions, energy performance, and marine renewable energy. A better understanding and application of the methods for the hydrodynamic analysis of ships and marine structures is of the utmost importance concerning their design and operation. This Special Issue aims to discuss the recent advances on wave hydrodynamics in ship and ocean engineering, and other related fields such as renewable marine energy. Specific topics include the following:

Linear and nonlinear waves and currents in offshore and nearshore environment

Computational wave hydrodynamics and numerical wave tank  

Wave–structure interactions and hydro-elasticity effects

Environmental loads and underwater noise

Resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, and maneuverability of ships in waves

Hydrodynamics of renewable marine energy systems and ocean resources

Experimental techniques for towing tank, wave flume and water basin

Other aspects of wave hydrodynamics in ship and ocean engineering.

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 monthly 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.
