ANUGA Workshop 16-17 September 2008

Geoscience Australia

Cnr Jerrabomberra Avenue and Hindmarsh Drive, Symonston ACT 2601, Canberra, Australia

ANUGA is an Free and Open Source Software implementation of the Shallow Water Wave equations developed by Geoscience Australia and the ANU since 2004 and available at ​http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga. ANUGA is mainly being used for tsunami inundation modelling (see e.g. ​http://www.ga.gov.au/ausgeonews/ausgeonews200609/modelling.jsp), but there is an increasing interest in developing ANUGA into a tool for flood modelling, dam break studies and even modelling of coastal processes (see e.g. ​http://www.rienco.com.au/index.php?v=Research_and_Development).

An active community with interest in the use and further development of ANUGA is emerging and it has been proposed that Geoscience Australia host a mini workshop for those interested in ANUGA. The objectives of this workshop are to

• Share different case studies where ANUGA is being used to model hydrodynamic systems
• Bring the user community closer together and discuss different ways of setting up ANUGA models
• Make prioritised recommendations for future development of ANUGA

If you are interested in attending, give a presentation of ANUGA related work or have any questions regarding this workshop, please contact Miriam.Middelmann@…, for technical questions regarding ANUGA, please mail to anuga-developers@…, and for all other inquiries about the ANUGA model, please mail Ole.Nielsen@… or Stephen.Roberts@….

This invite, the program and the minutes will be available on the ANUGA wiki at ​https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga/wiki/SecondAnugaMeeting as the workshop developes.
