Wave Interactions with Coastal Structures

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the ongoing rise in sea level and changing wave climate, coastal structures such as sea dikes and seawalls are expected to be more frequently exposed to more severe wave climates. Even though much research related to wave–structure interactions has been carried out, it still remains one of the most important topics in the field of coastal engineering. The outcomes of research will lead to improvements in safety, environmental impact, and the cost efficiency of construction.

For this Special Issue, we invite papers which present theoretical/mathematical, experimental, or numerical work related to wave interactions with coastal structures. This Special Issue is dedicated to the topic of wave interactions with conventional coastal hard structures. However, details and new outcomes related to constructions located in wave-affected zones, such as apartment buildings on dikes or other infrastructures, and also with soft structures such as nature-based solutions, are also 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 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.
