Water Waves: Field and Experimental Observations

Dear Colleagues,

Water waves interact with the natural and built environment; however, understanding these complex phenomena can often be difficult. Despite recent significant advances in mathematical and numerical modelling, field and experimental observations still provide us with much-needed insight into wave phenomena and are useful to applications in many fields of physics and engineering. This Special Issue of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering aims to collate reviews and original research articles on water waves from an experimental (field or laboratory) perspective. We particularly welcome studies on the development and/or use of measuring techniques to explore wave-related phenomena and applications, including, but not limited to: coastal and offshore engineering; wave energy; climate science; ship hydrodynamics; wave–structure interactions; wave breaking; and wave–current interactions.

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.
