Analytical and Numerical Modelling Approaches Related to Coastal and Ocean Engineering

This Special issue aims to report the ongoing research into experimental and numerical models in phenomenon related to coastal and ocean engineering with a special emphasis on hydrodynamics and sediment transport in steady and unsteady flows.

Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to: mathematical and numerical investigation of turbulence characteristics in coastal areas, CFD modelling (RANS, LES and DNS) of hydrodynamics and sediment transport in coastal areas, oceans, analytical modelling of flows and phenomenon in coastal areas, long term coastal dynamics, soft computing techniques for phenomenon related to coastal engineering and wave-current interaction in coastal waters.
All original contributions with analytical and/or numerical approaches in the mentioned areas will be considered for publication.
