Hydrodynamics plays a fundamental role in the design, operation, and safety assessment of marine engineering equipment exposed to complex ocean environments. Rapid advances in offshore energy, deep-sea exploration, marine transportation, aquaculture, and multipurpose ocean platforms have created new challenges involving strongly coupled interactions among waves, currents, wind, structures, mooring systems, and the seabed. This Research Topic aims to present recent progress in theoretical, numerical, experimental, and data-driven studies of hydrodynamic problems associated with marine engineering equipment. Particular attention is given to nonlinear wave–structure interaction, fluid–structure interaction, hydroelasticity, slamming, green water, vortex-induced vibration, wake dynamics, multibody coupling, station keeping, and hydrodynamic performance under combined environmental loads. Contributions addressing offshore renewable energy devices, floating and fixed platforms, ships, underwater vehicles, aquaculture systems, and other advanced marine structures are especially welcome. The collection also encourages studies on high-fidelity computational methods, model testing, field measurements, reduced-order modeling, machine learning, digital twins, uncertainty quantification, and design optimization. Original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that advance both fundamental understanding and engineering applications are invited.
