Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a form of water movement, wave is one of the concerns of Water. Traditionally, waves have a negative effect on coastal engineering structures, but this also shows that there is a significant amount of energy in waves. In recent years, due to the increasingly serious international energy problems, the research and development of renewable energy has generated considerable interest in the scientific community. Wave energy plays an important role in many renewable energy sources because of its huge reserves. The combination of wave power generation equipment with existing coastal engineering structures can reduce both the construction cost and the risk of wave damage to coastal structures. Moreover, many wave power plants are already in use. This Special Issue aims to share cutting-edge research on wave power technology, including, but not limited to, oscillating water column (OWC), oscillating buoy (OB), over topping and its combination with coastal structures, which reveals its energy-harvesting mechanism. We hope to provide new concepts and ideas for improving plant performance and reducing construction costs.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
