Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Floating infrastructure, such as buildings, piers/docks, bridges, breakwaters, aquaculture facilities, offshore platforms, and energy harvesters (e.g., floating wind, wave, or solar) offer tremendous potential to increase the resiliency of future cities for climate change adaptation. Given the complexity of many floating systems, numerical modeling presents a powerful tool for exploring the fundamental processes that govern their interactions with the physical or human environment. This Special Issue seeks contributions from researchers across academia and industry to share state-of-the-art advances in the use of numerical tools for the analysis of floating structures (and their components) existing at the water–air interface spanning all scales and applications. Contributions investigating the response of floating systems under extreme hydrodynamic events (e.g., breaking or extreme waves) are particularly 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. 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.
