Delft3D flow, morphology and waves available as open source
I missed this, but apparently some of Delft 3D has been available as open source since January. According to Deltares,
Delft3D is a world leading 2D/3D modeling suite to investigate hydrodynamics, sediment transport and morphology and water quality for fluvial, estuarine and coastal environments.
The announcement concludes:
Please note that only Delft3D FLOW + MOR + WAVE are going open source. These modules offer unique opportunities for collaboration. For other software distributed by Deltares, there are no changes in policy.
I’m aware of some open source 2D hydraulic modelling codes, including Anuga (interesting for its mixed Python/C code and the fact that it is designed to integrate with numpy). As far as I know, though, there are no open source 1D codes available. Nor even one that is freely available and can be run “headless” (from the command line, with no GUI). I’d be interested in pointers if that’s not true.
SWMM – the 1D urban drainage simulation model – is available open source from US EPA. Can’t remember what the licensing model is.

Thanks David!
This information is very helpful for Burmese/Myanmar researchers.

Thanks David – hard to forgive myself for missing that.
I can’t see any statement on the web site about licensing, nor do either of the words “licence” and “license” appear in the engine source code. Public Domain?
