Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerical simulations are essential for predicting the effects of tsunamis to take countermeasures. Many numerical models have been developed and applied to investigate various aspects of tsunamis, such as the following:
- Wave deformation and amplification during propagation over topographies;
- Tsunami source estimation;
- Runup on land and in rivers;
- Generation triggered by various causes—a submarine earthquake, landslide, glacier collapse, submarine eruption, air pressure wave due to a volcanic eruption or weather change, etc.;
- Erosion and deposition in ports and coastal areas;
- Fluid–structure interaction;
- Drifting of debris, ships, containers, wood, cars, etc.;
- Evacuation simulation.
We welcome articles on a variety of research stages, including basic research on tsunamis as water waves, calculations of historical tsunamis, and attempts to develop numerical models considering solid, liquid, and gas phases. Reviews are also welcome. We hope to collect various numerical methods, models, and calculation examples for theories, experiments, and field surveys, to use and develop them in future tsunami research.

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.
