Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the intricate relationship between symmetry and asymmetry in the field of ocean engineering. Ocean engineering involves designing and implementing various structures and systems to operate in the marine environment, addressing challenges related to hydrodynamics, wave loads, and structural integrity.
Symmetry and asymmetry play crucial roles in the performance and behavior of ocean engineering systems. With this Special Issue, we aim to bring together a collection of research articles that delve into different aspects of symmetry and asymmetry, providing valuable insights and advancements in the field. We aim to cover a wide range of topics, including the analysis of symmetric and asymmetric wave interactions, the design and optimization of symmetric and asymmetric hull forms, the study of propulsion systems with symmetrical or asymmetrical configurations, and the examination of hydrodynamic forces on symmetric and asymmetric offshore structures.
By focusing on symmetry and asymmetry, this Special Issue aims to enhance the understanding of their effects on ocean engineering systems, contributing to the development of more efficient, reliable, and sustainable solutions for various marine applications.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
