SUTRA Version 2.0 (2D3D.1)
-
A model for 2D or 3D saturated-unsaturated, variable-density ground-water flow with solute or energy transport
Information
-
SUTRA is a model for saturated-unsaturated, variable-density ground-water
flow with solute or energy transport. SUTRA
Version 2.0 (2D3D.1) includes both 2D and 3D simulation capability. The
2D portion of the code represents the same hydrologic processes as earlier versions and is
conceptually unchanged, and the 3D portion of the code represents the same processes as the
2D portion, but in three spatial dimensions.
A Release Notes file containing installation instructions is included with the software. It can also
be downloaded separately using the link below.

To download the installation files, click on the links below. (Some web
browsers will automatically run the installation program after downloading it.
If your browser does not automatically run the installation program, save the
installation file on your computer and run it by double-clicking on its icon.)
To install the software, follow the instructions provided by the installation
program. It is recommended that you accept the default
settings during installation.
NOTE: The installation files may be updated from time to time to fix bugs or
make other improvements. A "critical" update is one that is required
for the proper functioning of some aspect of a code or example problem. If
a critical update to an installation file has been issued since you
last downloaded that file, it is highly recommended that you
check the list of updates on the "SutraSuite
Installation File Updates" page to determine whether the update
affects your SutraSuite applications. If so, uninstall your
current installation (if one exists), then download and install the latest revision of
the installation file using the corresponding link below. Minor updates are of lesser
importance and may be considered entirely optional. For details on how to install an
update, or to view a complete listing of updates to the installation files for
SUTRA and the SUTRA examples, see the "SutraSuite
Installation File Updates" page.
