Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean is an important element of global life-support systems, and is a valuable asset for the sustainable development of society. The lag in green propulsion technology for ships as well as the unreasonable development and utilization of marine resources have resulted in the damage to the marine environment and waste of resources. The sustainable development of ships and the ocean has become one of the major challenges encountered by the human race.
Ships need to adopt green and efficient propulsion methods, and the rational exploitation of marine resources is inseparable from high-end ships and ocean engineering equipment. With the rapid development of experimental and simulation techniques, hydrodynamic modelling has provided strong support for achieving breakthroughs in key technologies in ships and ocean engineering. It has been an important topic with great theoretical and practical significance. Therefore, we are delighted to announce this Special Issue entitled “Sustainable Hydrodynamic Modelling in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering”, which will collect papers presenting experimental, theoretical, analytical, empirical and numerical studies on the hydrodynamics in ships and ocean engineering applications for the sustainable development of ships and the ocean.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Theoretical/analytical methods in hydrodynamics;
- Computational fluid dynamics;
- Experimental fluid mechanics;
- Fluid-structure interaction simulation;
- Ship propulsion hydrodynamics;
- Machine/deep-learning-based hydrodynamic models;
- Hydrodynamic modelling of ocean structures.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
