Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) Issues in Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
This special issue belongs to the section “Ocean Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The offshore wind industry is expected to expand exponentially in the coming decades; as such, research and innovation are needed to allow for the safe, cost-effective, and sustainable design of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). A significant challenge is the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) issue associated with the various components of FOWTs, such as blades, floaters, and power cables.
This Special Issue focuses on FSI problems such as vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) and vortex-induced motions (VIM), both experimental and numerical, addressing critical challenges faced by the design, operation and decommissioning of floating offshore wind turbines.

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.
