Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, in order to meet the increasingly strict greenhouse gas emission requirements of the International Maritime Organization, major countries around the world have begun to attach importance to the development of green (clean) ships and actively promote the application of new energy in the field of ships. The ability to achieve the green transformation of ships lies with the application of green power technology, which is divided into two types: low-carbon and zero-carbon power. This can be achieved with different fuels, including LNG, liquid ammonia, methanol, hydrogen power, and lithium-ion-based electric drive.

We invite original research, reviews, and perspectives involving experimental/simulation investigations, recent developments, and future directions in the field of advanced technologies for new (clean) energy ship applications.

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.

With the implementation of strict emission regulations, new energy technologies are widely used in the field of maritime transportation. Fuel cells can be used as the power sources of ships due to the advantages of high efficiency, low noise and zero emissions. In this study, a three-dimensional non-isothermal numerical model of a high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) is established and used to investigate the effect of a flow field with baffles on cell performance. The effects of the number, height and length of baffles in the flow field on the species concentration distribution, current density and power density are comprehensively studied. Compared with the traditional straight channel, the baffles in the channel can effectively improve cell performance. When the number of baffles is nine, the height of the baffles is 0.75 mm and the length of the baffles is 1 mm, the current density is increased from 1.390 A/cm2 to 1.524 A/cm2 at a voltage of 0.4 V, which is an increase of 9.64%. This study can provide guidelines for flow channel design. Full article
