Research on the Interaction of Water Waves and Ocean Structures

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great honor to contact you from the Editorial Board office of the journal Water. We would like to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue entitled “Research on the Interaction of Water Waves and Ocean Structures”, for which the deadline is October 31, 2022.

The aim and scope of the Special Issue is to invite paper contributions on recent developments and applications relating to the interaction of water waves and ocean/coastal structures. In recent years, with the increasing demand for coastal protection and marine resources, artificial structures have been established on the coast as well as in the ocean. These structures are constantly impacted by waves and currents. Under structural influence, the behavior of waves becomes more complex; therefore, the issue of water waves interacting with structures has become an important and challenging research topic. We invite experts and scholars in this field to submit their related theoretical, numerical, and experimental research on the interaction of water waves and various types of artificial or natural structures for possible inclusion in this Special Issue of Water.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. 

Best regards,

Dr. Chih-Hua Chang
Prof. Dr. Ruey-Syan Shih
