I am pleased to announce the first release of ANUGA which is a implements a computational model for simulation of shallow water flows. ANUGA is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga/. The user manual can also be viewed direcly at http://datamining.anu.edu.au/~ole/anuga/user_manual/anuga_user_manual.pdf. That and other documentation such as papers are available at https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga ANUGA is a software implementation of a hydrodynamic model which is specifically designed to model wetting and drying processes. ANUGA implements a Finite-Volumes technique for solving the Shallow Water Wave Equations. ANUGA is a joint development project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian National University (ANU) and is being used to simulate the impact from natural disasters such as tsunami and storm-surge on coastal communities. ANUGA is also suitable for detailed dam-break simulations. Best regards Ole Nielsen
