Wave–Structure Interaction: Research, Modeling and Future Application

Dear Colleagues,

Wave–structure interaction is a pivotal area in coastal and ocean engineering, encompassing a diverse range of research topics. From breakwater design to advancing marine renewable energy devices and enhancing offshore aquaculture systems, this field is integral to the development of innovative marine technology and infrastructure. A thorough understanding of the interaction between water waves (including regular, irregular, shallow water, and breaking waves etc.) and coastal and marine structures is vital for technological and infrastructural advancements in marine environments.

We are excited to invite you to contribute to our forthcoming Special Issue of Water, which will focus on the research, modeling, and future applications of wave–structure interaction. We welcome submissions covering any aspect of this field. This includes, but is not limited to, laboratory or field experiments, Eulerian and Lagrangian numerical modeling approaches, and the application of machine learning techniques. We encourage you to share your expertise on a specific topic within this domain. Papers that provide an overview of a particular research area and highlight the current and future challenges associated with these topics are also welcome.

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. 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.
