Summary
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods are becoming an increasingly reliable and indispensable tool in the field of naval architecture and ocean engineering. The interaction between ocean waves and offshore or coastal structures is one of the most critical fluid dynamics problems in this field. With the development of computer science and technology, the CFD methods have been increasingly used owing to their obvious advantages over other methods such as theoretical methods and model experiments. Since the overall performance of ships and marine structures as well as their environmental adaptability significantly depends on their hydrodynamics characteristics, the rapid and accurate assessment on such characteristics using CFD is of great importance.
This Special Issue focuses on the use of CFD methods to simulate marine hydrodynamics problems. Researchers are welcome to submit original contributions that investigate the problems as well as reviews on the latest developments in the field of CFD simulations of marine hydrodynamics.
Suggested topics related to this special issue include, but are not limited to:
• Naval architecture and ocean engineering;
• Mesh-based methods and meshless methods;
• Linear and nonlinear wave mechanics;
• Simulation of ocean environment including wind, wave and current;
• Interactions between water waves and fixed or floating bodies;
• Marine renewable energy;
• Wave loads and hydroelasticity;
• Vortex-induced vibration.
