The energy transition is one of the key approaches in the effort to halt climate changes, and it has become even more essential in the light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Fostering the energy efficiency and the energy independence of the building sector is a focal aim to move towards a decarbonized society. In this context, building physics and building energy systems are fundamental disciplines based on applied physics applications in civil, architectural, and environmental engineering, including technical themes related to the planning of energy and the environment, diagnostic methods, and mitigating techniques. This Special Issue contains information on experimental studies in the following research topics: renewable energy sources, building energy analysis, rational use of energy, heat transmission, heating and cooling systems, thermofluid dynamics, smart energy systems, and energy service management in buildings.

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.

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

In nuclear fusion technology, thermal-hydraulics is a key discipline employed in the design phase of the systems and components to demonstrate performance, and to ensure the reliability and their efficient and economical operation. ITER is in charge of investigating the transients of the engineering systems; this included safety analysis.
