Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Generally, in coastal and ocean waters, current velocity profiles are established by bottom friction and/or wind stress at the sea surface and are consequently depth-dependent. Ebb and flood currents due to the tide may have an important effect on water wave properties. In any region where the wind blows, the generated current affects the kinematics and dynamics of the surface water waves. For example, the current velocity profile at Columbia river mouth reported by Dong and Kirby (Proceedings of the 33rd Conference on Coastal Engineering, 2012) shows the existence of a strong vertical shear on the upper layer of the water flow near the free surface, which was high enough to affect the kinematics of water wave of wavelengths up to tens of meters.
Water waves on rotational flows have attracted much less attention than those on irrotational flows. The objective of this Special Issue is to increase our knowledge on the interaction between surface water waves and vortical flows.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
