This book is the result of a stimulating Special Issue of Water, focusing on the “Interaction between waves and Maritime Structures”. This broadly inclusive title allowed the gathering of articles on different topics of engineering concern, making the book appeal to both scientists and practical engineers. Original contributions on evergreen problems, such as wave overtopping at conventional and unconventional coastal structures, wave-induced pressures at vertical walls, hydraulic stability of rubble mound breakwaters and dynamics of crown-walls indeed represent the main core of the book; however, other intriguing research topics are also tackled, including the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for biphase flows, the downscaling of large maritime structures in a physical lab, floating bodies mechanics and the numerical modeling of coastline evolution.

Technology: general issues --- rock armor stability --- breakwater --- damage --- notional permeability factor --- crown wall failure --- dynamic response --- sliding --- overturning --- bearing capacity --- ship motions --- in-situ observations --- port operation --- transfer functions --- meteorological and ocean conditions --- vessel dimensions --- electrical platform --- hydrodynamic response --- strain --- acceleration --- hydroelastic similarity --- laboratory experiment --- wave overtopping --- flow velocity --- flow depth --- dike --- wave breaking --- experiments --- numerical modelling --- n/a --- floating cylinder --- water filled --- motion capturing --- wave tank --- wave gauges --- fluid–structure interaction --- free surface --- sloshing --- image analysis --- green water --- wet dam-break bore --- 2D experimental study --- water elevation database --- Venetian lagoon --- flooding --- astronomical tide --- storm surge --- experimental investigation --- two-phase flows --- fluid-structure interactions --- wave decomposition --- floating body --- recurves --- recurve geometry --- vertical seawalls --- wave loads and pressures --- pulsating and impulsive conditions --- validation experiment --- shoreline evolution --- littoral drift --- equivalent wave --- one-line equation --- coastal defenses --- structure response --- fluid-structure interaction

CFD is an emerging area and is gaining popularity due to the availability of ever-increasing computational power. If used accurately, CFD methods may overcome the limitations of experimental and other numerical methods, in some respects. This Special Issue focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulations of Marine Hydrodynamics with a specific focus on the applications of naval architecture and ocean engineering, and it comprises 24 original articles that advance state-of-the-art CFD applications in marine hydrodynamics and/or review the progress and future directions of research in this field. The published articles cover a wide range of subjects relevant to naval architecture and ocean engineering, including but not limited to; ship resistance and propulsion, seakeeping and maneuverability, hydrodynamics of marine renewable energy devices, validation and verification of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), EFD/CFD combined methods, fouling/coating hydrodynamics.
