Thank you for your interest. Please consider that SUNTANS is a powerful tool that is designed for the simulation of complex, nonhydrostatic coastal, river and estuarine flows with high resolution on unstructured grids using parallel computers. Its use requires extensive knowledge of UNIX, the C programming language, parallel processing, and the use of state-of-the-art modeling techniques for coastal and estuarine environments. Implementation of realistic simulations requires that the user have access to an unstructured-grid generation package and possess the ability to interpolate initial and boundary conditions onto this unstructured grid.
By completing this application to request access to the source code for SUNTANS, you are agreeing that:
1) Because of its complexity and the expertise required to use SUNTANS, and because it is under constant development, we make no guarantees as to the stability of the code nor the accuracy of the results you obtain, and while you will be a member of an active user group and an associated email list and will have access to extensive documentation, we cannot guarantee timely support or advice for its use. We will, however, try to answer your specific problems when they are posted to the SUNTANS user email list.
2) You are using the source code for academic purposes alone and are not using SUNTANS for any contractual or commercial work whatsoever.
3) While you are free to edit and alter the source code, you are forbidden to distribute any portion of the source to anyone or any other organization.
4) You will site the use of SUNTANS in any publication that comes out of the results obtained from SUNTANS as:
Fringer, O.B., Stanford University. 2006. "Source code for SUNTANS: Stanford Unstructured Nonhydrostatic Terrain-following Adaptive Navier-Stokes Simulator", URL: http://suntans.stanford.edu. Copyright (C) 2005-2006 The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University. All Rights Reserved.
where (C) is the copyright symbol.
5) Upon our request, you will make all changes and/or additions to the source available to us, and therefore all changes may become part of the downloadable source that is available to registered SUNTANS users.
6) We reserve the right to deny a request for downloading the SUNTANS source code if, based on the information you provide, we feel you do not possess the expertise required for a successful implementation or if we feel that the application is not appropriate for the use of SUNTANS. In that case we will recommend an alternate tool that may be more appropriate for your needs and abilities.
7) You will use SUNTANS at your own risk, and Stanford does not represent that it is accurate or up-to-date. Stanford University will have no liability to you or to any third party as a result of its use of SUNTANS, and you will indemnify and hold Stanford University harmless from any claims related to your use of SUNTANS.
