Welcome to the ANUGA Open Source Hydrodynamic / Hydraulic Modelling Project

This trac site is fairly old and is often not up to date.

anuga is now developed by a community of developers on github at ​https://github.com/anuga-community/anuga_core with a mirror at the original github development site ​https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/anuga_core.

Many of the links below point to the github site.

Installation of ANUGA

​Installation documentation

anuga can be installed via PyPI or conda-forge

Viewer

For windows the version on sourceforge seems to still work fine. Here is the link:

• Viewer: ​Precompiled Viewer fro Windows. Download the file anuga_viewer.zip and extract to a convenient location and associate the cairns.sww file in the data directory with the executable viewer.exe in the viewer's bin directory.

For Linux we recommend installation from source:

• Viewer: ​Install current version of the viewer (from source) on Ubuntu

Background

ANUGA is a Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) package capable of modelling the impact of hydrological disasters such as dam breaks, riverine flooding, storm-surge or tsunamis.

ANUGA is based on the Shallow Water Wave Equation discretised to unstructured triangular meshes using a finite-volumes numerical scheme. A major capability of ANUGA is that it can model the process of wetting and drying as water enters and leaves an area. This means that it is suitable for simulating water flow onto a beach or dry land and around structures such as buildings. ANUGA is also capable of modelling difficult flows involving shock waves and rapidly changing flow speed regimes (transitions from sub critical to super critical flows).

ANUGA is developed by the Australian National University (ANU) and Geoscience Australia (GA) - hence the name. See also ​ANUGA flyer.
