Summary
This Special Issue seeks high-quality contributions that advance modeling, control, and optimization strategies for aerial and marine vehicles operating within complex fluid-structure interaction (FSI) contexts. Emphasizing interdisciplinarity—core to FDMP's mission—the issue invites research integrating state-of-the-art control methods (e.g. fractional-order control, model predictive control, fuzzy systems), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), artificial intelligence (AI), and multi-objective optimization. Manuscripts may explore single- or multi-agent platforms—such as UAVs, underwater drones, air-cushion crafts, or hybrid maneuvering systems—under turbulent, multiphase, or high-load fluid environments. Key thematic areas include AI-driven real-time FSI modeling, CFD–structural coupling for predictive maintenance and materials design, swarm robotics in dynamic flow conditions, and bio-inspired propulsion techniques. Applications in aerospace, marine robotics, environmental monitoring, offshore inspection, and energy systems are particularly welcome. This Special Issue aims to bridge fluid-dynamic analysis with intelligent control and materials processing to foster resilient, efficient, and adaptive autonomous systems in engineering practice.
