This book contains selected papers from the Fourth International Conference on Computational Methods in Marine Engineering, held at Instituto Superior Tecnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal in September 2011.

Nowadays, computational methods are an essential tool of engineering, which includes a major field of interest in marine applications, such as the maritime and offshore industries and engineering challenges related to the marine environment and renewable energies. The 2011 Conference included 8 invited plenary lectures and 86 presentations distributed through 10 thematic sessions that covered many of the most relevant topics of marine engineering today. This book contains 16 selected papers from the Conference that cover CFD for Offshore Applications , Fluid-Structure Interaction , Isogeometric Methods for Marine Engineering , Marine/Offshore Renewable Energy , Maneuvering and Seakeeping , Propulsion and Cavitation and Ship Hydrodynamics . The papers were selected with the help of the recognized experts that collaborated in the organization of the thematic sessions of the Conference, which guarantees the high quality of the papers included in this book.
