Overview
The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method has been proven to be a potentially robust computational method with a wide range of applications in different engineering fields including ocean engineering. Despite achieving significant advances, the reliability of SPH as a superior candidate for future's practical engineering applications has not been well portrayed or comprehensively demonstrated. To achieve this aim, several challenges, known as SPH Grand Challenges as defined by SPHERIC (SPH rEsearch and engineeRing International Community), need to be thoroughly overcome, including challenges associated with numerical stability, convergence, boundary conditions, adaptivity, coupling with other methods, turbulence modeling, etc. In portraying the attractions of SPH, there are certain engineering applications that SPH potentially serves as an excellent candidate; applications such as reliability and survivability of offshore wave energy converters in extreme wave conditions.
The aim of this special issue is to present the state-of-the-art of SPH development and its advances for ocean engineering applications. In particular, academic scholars and engineering researchers are invited to submit their recent research which shows a novel and notable development in SPH as an advanced computational tool for ocean and offshore engineering. Manuscripts must contain validations/applications directly related to ocean or coastal engineering. Manuscripts solely presenting new ocean/coastal engineering applications of SPH are welcomed as well. The main topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to:
I. SPH for ocean and coastal hydrodynamics
II. SPH for design of ocean structures including wave energy converters
III. SPH for computation of hydroelasticity of ships and ocean structures
IV. SPH for sediment transport and morphological dynamics
V. SPH for multi-physics and multi-scale ocean engineering applications
