Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prediction of ship behaviour in extreme sea conditions is a central concern of naval architects and is fundamental for ship design, optimization and evaluation. In the past few decades, a wide variety of theoretical and experimental methods have been developed to estimate resistance, motions, loads and maneuverability of ships in waves. These methods include potential flow theory, the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique, tank model test and sea trial. However, due to the complexity of interactions between water waves and arbitrary-shape moving ship hulls in the presence of free surfaces and forward speed, the problems of ship responses in extreme seas are still far from being satisfactorily addressed, especially for the problems involving high forward speed, harsh weather, instantaneous wetted surfaces, irregular sea waves and strong nonlinear fluid-flexible structure interactions.
This Special Issue aims to gather the latest developments in the prediction of ship behaviour in extreme sea conditions reported by theoretical, numerical and experimental studies. Submissions on the use of novel numerical and experimental tools including potential flow theory, CFD tool and model/full scale measurements in addressing the relevant problems are especially 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.
