CIMNE scientists Pavel Ryzhakov, Julio Martí and Mohammad Reza Hashemi have been on charge of the edition of an special issue of Journal of Marine Science and Engineering about coupled CFD problems. The issue is entitled “Advances in Numerical Modeling of Coupled CFD Problems and Applications to Marine Engineering”.
The Special Issue, which is now open for submissions, welcomes works reporting advances in the development of numerical methods for coupled problems in fluid mechanics remains an area of active research due to numerous complexities faced therein. These include moving and deforming boundaries as well as the coexistence of physical phenomena of different scales.
Additionally, practitioners require technologies capable of providing reliable results in a feasible amount of time. The Special Issue is devoted to highlighting the latest advances in the numerical modeling of complex coupled CFD problems, particularly fluid-structure interactions and two-phase flows. Such multiphysics systems exist in many applications of relevance for marine and ocean engineering, ranging from large-scale ones, such as sea waves interacting with off-shore structures, to small-scale phenomena, such as cavitations affecting marine engines.
