Computational Marine Hydrodynamics (CMH)

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, many novel computational marine hydrodynamic (CMH) methods, such as overset grid techniques, adaptive refined mesh methods, Cartesian grid methods, meshless particle methods, high-order-spectral methods and Lattice Boltzmann methods, as well as machine learning, have been developed in order to tackle the complicated and violent flows around marine structures, such as surface ships, submarines, offshore wind turbines and floating platforms, etc. All such complicated and violent flows are among the most difficult topics in marine engineering due to the large span of spatial and temporal scales involved. Some of the important topics are marine vehicle resistance and propulsion, controllability, wave loads, wave induced motions, and energy and ecology considerations, including the green water of ship motion in waves, the self-propulsion of ship motion, LNG tank sloshing, wave run-up and impact loads on floating platforms with a mooring system, VIV for risers and VIM for deep-sea platforms, wake flows of offshore floating wind turbines, slamming, the water entry/exit of bodies, and submarines in stratified flows both at the model scale and full scale, among others. The correct understanding of and application of hydrodynamics in marine vehicles and structures are vital in their design and operation. The aim of this Special Issue of Computational Marine Hydrodynamics (CMH) is to provide a platform for disseminating recent advances in novel computational marine hydrodynamic methods and exploring outstanding problems in computational marine hydrodynamics for further research and applications.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.
