Journal of Marine Science and Application - Call for Papers
Special Issue on “Fluid-Structure Interactions in Ocean Engineering”
The study of fluid-structure interactions is a forefront and challenging issue in the field of ocean engineering, still facing fundamental scientific challenges. Predicting the complex loads of fluids on structures is critical for developing safe and efficient marine equipment, including offshore platforms, ships, and underwater vehicles. The response of these structures under various environmental conditions, such as waves, wind, and explosive impact, presents complex and nonlinear dynamic problems. Consequently, research in this area holds significant importance in structural design and optimization, ultimately improving the performance of marine structures to resist harsh ocean conditions.
This special issue aims to collect in a single location the contributions that will allow an overview of the present state of the art in this subject area.
Topics of interest include (but not limited to)
- Flow/vortex induced vibration of bluff body;
- Dynamics of transmedium vehicle;
- Sloshing in liquid tank;Interaction between wave and structure;
- Stability and safety estimation of marine structures;
- Control and manipulation of marine structures;
- Cavitation and multiphase flows.
