Ocean Wave Studies for Engineering Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue (SI) focuses on oceanic and coastal engineering research with a clear and direct impact on the engineering field.

This SI is open to all studies related to offshore, port and coastal engineering, such as—but not limited to—breakwater design and upgrade, coastal morphodynamics, coastal protection, environmental monitoring of the coast and of the ocean, ocean energy harvesting devices.

You are invited to submit theoretical and experimental research papers that aim to verify, extend, and innovate the current design practices and the state of the art on topics of practical interest for the engineering community, providing improved lumped formulas that fill existing gaps, extended design charts, as well as new or improved methods. We encourage the use of example applications.

Case studies and review papers pointing out the lessons learned, i.e., what may be recommended as a model and what may be improved, are also welcome.

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. Water 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.
