Research Progress in Wave–Structure Interactions in Nearshore Areas

Dear Colleagues,

Wave–structure interactions are a multi-disciplinary topic of fluid dynamics, with many applications of practical importance. Wind farms in nearshore areas, fish farms, shipping along coastal routes, wave energy absorbers, wave breakers and barriers, activities in the Arctic Regions due to the climate change and ice melting are just a few examples of such applications. The Special Issue will collect research and review papers on experimental, theoretical and computational studies in this field, providing high-quality reviewing and rapid publication, which is the feature of this journal. High-quality papers directly related to the various aspects indicated below are encouraged:

• Wave energy convertors;
• Offshore wind farms;
• Coastal structures;
• Polar engineering;
• Surface and submerged vehicles;
• Wave impact on offshore structures;
• Non-linear waves.

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.
