Citing ANUGA

If you use ANUGA in published work, please cite it.

Software

Cite the ANUGA software using the metadata in the repository’s CITATION.cff file — GitHub’s “Cite this repository” button (top right of the repository page) generates an up-to-date APA or BibTeX entry from it. A minimal BibTeX entry:

@software{anuga,
  title     = {ANUGA Hydrodynamic Inundation Modelling},
  author    = {Roberts, Stephen and Davies, Gareth and Nielsen, Ole and others},
  publisher = {Australian National University and Geoscience Australia},
  url       = {https://github.com/anuga-community/anuga_core}
}

ANUGA was created by Geoscience Australia and the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University, and is now maintained by a community of volunteers.

Key publications

Two papers describe the method ANUGA implements, and are the usual citations for the model itself. The first develops the finite-volume solution of the two-dimensional shallow water equations on unstructured triangular meshes that ANUGA is built on; the second describes its application to coastal inundation:

Both are also cited from Mathematical Background, where the numerical method is described.

User manual

The ANUGA user manual describes the numerical method, the finite-volume discretisation, and the validation suite, and has a DOI:
