Abstract
ANUGA is a freely available inundation software developed by the Australian National University (ANU) and Geoscience Australia (GA). It is a tool used for 2D hydrodynamic modeling of realistic flow problems such as tsunamis, floods, storm surges, or dam breaks and can be used to simulate their effects on the environment. It is based on a finite volume method used for solving the shallow water wave equation. It makes use of a mesh of triangular cells to represent the area of study. The mesh is generated following the properties of Delaunay triangulation. This paper discusses the methods of mesh generation used by ANUGA, the importance of an accurate and optimal mesh for a good prediction and proposes a new method of mesh generation.
