Hydraulic Modeling, Optimization and Intelligent Maintenance of Marine Fluid Machinery and Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Marine fluid machinery and systems have been widely used in marine engineering such as seabed exploration, exploitation of marine resources and laying of submarine pipelines, etc. At present, the complexity of application scenarios has put forward higher demands for the accuracy, efficiency, reliability, and intelligence of the marine fluid machinery and systems.

Thus, how to achieve and maintain the high performance of the marine fluid machinery and systems during their whole service life is an unending pursuit. The growing demands to increase of processes’ operation efficiency have encouraged optimization at the design stages for marine fluid machinery and systems based on hydraulic modeling, numerical simulation, or data-driven techniques.

This Special Issue on “Hydraulic Modeling, Optimization and Intelligent Maintenance of Marine Fluid Machinery and Systems” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances regarding the modeling, simulation, optimization, controlling, application, and maintenance of all kinds of marine fluid machinery and systems such as tidal turbines, underwater robots, water-jet pump and propellers, etc. The topics within the scope of the issue are mainly the following, but are not limited to this:

1. Modeling and simulation of marine fluid machinery and system;
2. Design and optimization of marine fluid component and system;
3. Advanced control strategy for unsteady flows or instabilities;
4. Fault diagnosis and life prediction of marine fluid component and system;
5. Intelligent maintenance of marine fluid machinery and system;
6. Advanced applications of marine fluid machinery and system.

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.
