ANUGA - Present Applications and Future Potential, 16-17 September 2008 at Geoscience Australia

ANUGA is a Free and Open Source Software implementation of the Shallow Water Wave equations which has been developed by Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian National University (ANU) since 2004 (see ​ModSim 2005 proceedings). The software can be downloaded online at ​http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga. ANUGA has primarily been used for tsunami inundation modelling (see e.g. ​AusGeoNews 2006), due to the worldwide interest in tsunamis triggered by the events of Boxing Day 2004. Presently, there is an increasing interest in developing ANUGA into a tool for flood modelling, dam break studies and modelling of coastal processes (see e.g. ​Rigby).

Workshop objectives

• Bringing the user community closer together
• Sharing different case studies where ANUGA is being used to model hydrodynamic systems
• Discussing and making prioritised recommendations for the future development of ANUGA.
• Form the ANUGA Special Interest Group (ASIG): ​https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga/wiki/AsigMeetings
