Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue entitled ‘Symmetry in Marine Hydrodynamics: Applications to Ocean Engineering’. This Special Issue explores the complex symmetry hydrodynamics of ocean engineering problems. Ocean engineering encompasses the development, design, and implementation of various structures utilized in marine environments. It also includes the analysis of challenges associated with hydrodynamics, wave forces, stability, and structural resilience.
The application of symmetry in marine hydrodynamics holds significant importance in the functionality and performance of ocean engineering problems. With this Special Issue, our goal is to compile a collection of research papers, review articles, and short communications that explore various facets of symmetry in marine hydrodynamics, offering valuable insights and progress in analytical modeling, numerical simulation, and prototype testing.
Contributions that analyze symmetry wave structure interactions under nonlinear effect applications in marine structures are particularly welcome.
Taking into consideration the features mentioned above, this Special Issue will include, but not be limited to, the following topics of interest:
- Hydrodynamics;
- Marine structures;
- Hydroelastic response;
- Dynamics of moored platforms;
- Interconnected structures;
- Wave forces;
- Marine aquaculture;
- Effect of seabed topography;
- Nonlinear dynamics;
- Wave energy converter.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
