The aim of the Journal of Marine Science and Application (JMSA) is to provide a platform for current issues in a range of topics relevant to marine science and engineering, and to guide engineering application for scientists and engineers.JMSA is a scholarly international journal, publishing high-level peer-reviewed research on the subjects in the field of theoretical and experimental investigations, that explore naval architecture, ocean engineering, marine renewable energy, underwater technology, marine engineering, corrosion prevention, ocean acoustics, automatic navigation among others. Topics include, but are not limited to:Naval architecture Marine hydrodynamics Structural mechanics Design methodology & practice Ship resistance and propulsion Safety and reliability Marine equipment technologyOcean engineering Coastal engineering Offshore engineering Marine drilling Pipelines and risers Cable, mooring, buoy technologyMarine renewable energy Offshore wind energy utilization Ocean wave energy utilization Ocean current energy utilizationUnderwater technology Underwater vehicles Underwater explosion Ocean resources & mining Marine sensorsMarine engineering Marine engines and fuels Marine power engineering Vibration and noise control Heat transfer and fluid flowOcean acoustics Sonar and transducers Sound propagation and scattering Acoustical oceanography Signal coherence and fluctuationPolar and arctic engineering Design of ice-going ships Arctic structures Ice loads and simulation of iceMarine environmental engineering Oil spill prevention Maine pollution modelingMarine corrosion and protection Corrosion and deterioration modeling Ship corrosion protection Pipeline corrosion protectionAutomatic navigation Ship navigation system Marine navigation equipment System dynamics & controlMarine science Marine meteorology Ocean internal waves Extreme offshore environmentsExperimental technology of aboveEngineering application of aboveThe journal welcomes submissions of papers around the world on all the above topics. It also receives original works in the other emerging and interdisciplinary areas of the oceans.
