Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the demand for sustainable energy sources grows, floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) have emerged as a promising solution to harness wind energy in deeper waters. While the projections for deployment capacity over the coming decades point towards exponential growth, the challenges to overcome are also very significant. Research and innovation are needed to allow for safe, cost-effective and sustainable projects.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in modelling techniques for FOWTs, both experimental and numerical, addressing critical challenges faced by the design, operation and decommissioning of floating wind turbines. We aim at collecting contributions focused on the following topics:
- Wind resource assessment;
- Wake modelling;
- Experimental model testing;
- Hydrodynamics;
- Mooring analysis;
- Power cables dynamics;
- Wind turbine controllers;
- Fully coupled modelling;
- Structural analysis;
- Digital twins;
- Offshore operations.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.
