The aim of International journal of Coastal, Offshore & Environmental Engineering (IJCOE) is to encourage the submission of papers that advance the state of knowledge in a range of topics relevant to ocean engineering. In these fields, papers on the following technical topics are welcome؛
Hydrodynamics:
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD); vortex induced vibrations; fluid-structure interaction; hydro elasticity; linear and non-linear wave mechanics; buoyancy and stability; ship resistance and propulsion; sea keeping and controls; ship maneuvering, radiated noise. Rheology & fluid dynamics
Structural mechanics:
Materials; limit state prediction; fatigue; fracture; structural health monitoring; collision and crash worthiness, degradation.
Stochastic calculations:
Stochastic processes; safety and reliability; risk and limit state design.
Experimental approaches:
Instrumentation; full-scale measurements; model tests.
Marine equipment:
Risers; pipelines; ballast water treatment; air emissions treatment; underwater noise mitigation; and associated components or equipment.
Ocean environmental predictions:
Only for ocean structures and vessel operation and design: extreme event predictions; extreme statistics; wave groups; short-term environment predictions; impact of climate change. Note that broader environmental and climate model, sensing, and data sets should be submitted to climate and oceanographic journals.
Automatic Control of Marine Systems:
Papers submitted in this subject area should have genuine value in naval architecture and marine engineering and should include the validation of results preferably, by full-scale measurements or model-scale tests or, when this is not possible, by high fidelity simulations. Methods used in papers should be validated in conditions that represent realistic marine environments.
