Wave–Structure Interaction in Coastal and Ocean Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

In coastal and ocean engineering, waves, as a dominant dynamic factor, need to be taken into account during the design, construction, and operation of structures. The study of wave–structure interaction enables predictions of structural responses while analyzing changes in flow fields. With the advancements in research methods, wave–structure interaction is progressing towards more complex wave conditions and more intricate structural designs.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scholars and engineers to present their novel research on the state of the art of wave–structure interaction in coastal and ocean engineering. The main topics include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Interactions between waves and fixed/floating structures;
2. Interactions between linear/nonlinear waves and structures;
3. The theoretical analysis of wave–structure interaction;
4. Numerical simulations of wave–structure interaction;
5. Physical experiments on wave–structure interaction.

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. Water 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.
