Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first volume of this Special Issue, entitled “Hydrodynamic Research of Marine Structures”, concluded with great success (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jmse/special_issues/3HO11C8Q18). We are pleased to announce the opening of the second edition of this Special Issue, where we invite high-quality submissions in the Marine Structure Research Section.
Hydrodynamics plays a crucial role in the design and analysis of marine structures, as it involves the study of the motion of fluid and its interaction with different types of structures in a marine environment. This Special Issue aims to collate the latest advancements and insights in the field of hydrodynamics that are specific to marine structures, providing a platform for researchers to share their findings, methodologies, and applications. Specific topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The hydrodynamic characterization of marine structures: papers addressing the assessment and modeling of hydrodynamic loads, including wave loads, wind loads, and current loads, on different types of marine structures;
- Design optimization and performance enhancement: papers focusing on the application of hydrodynamic research to optimize the design and enhance the performance of marine structures in terms of stability, safety, efficiency, and sustainability;
- Hydrodynamic analysis and simulation techniques: papers exploring novel computational methods, experimental techniques, or hybrid approaches for the analysis and simulation of hydrodynamic phenomena and their effects on marine structures;
- Fluid–structure interactions: papers investigating the complex interaction between fluids and structures, including the response, vibration, and resonance of marine structures under dynamic loads;
- Case studies and practical applications: papers showcasing real-world applications and case studies highlighting the importance of hydrodynamic research in the design, operation, maintenance, and risk assessment of marine structures.
We encourage researchers, academicians, and industry professionals from various disciplines such as naval architecture, offshore engineering, civil engineering, fluid mechanics, and computational engineering to contribute to this Special Issue. We welcome both theoretical and applied research papers that present new insights, methodologies, and practical solutions in the field of hydrodynamic research on marine structures. In light of the success of this Special Issue, we are pleased to announce this second edition.

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.
