GSTARS Versions 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0 Archives at the Hydroscience and Training Center of Colorado State University

The GSTARS is a series of Generalized Stream Tube computer models for Alluvial River Simulation developed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for steady and quasi-steady flows. The first version of GSTARS was developed by Molinas and Yang (1985) for mainframe computers to simulate the flow conditions in a semi-two-dimensional manner and the change of channel geometry in a semi-three-dimensional manner based on the stream tube concept. GSTARS 2.0 (Yang et. al.1988) significantly revised and expanded the capabilities of GSTARS for PC applications. With a new graphical interface, GSTARS 2.1(Yang and Simoes, 2000) replaced GSTARS 2.0 for cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport in rivers. GSTARS 3 (Yang and Simoes, 2002) further expanded the capabilities of GSTARS 2.1 for cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport in rivers and reservoirs.

The Bureau of Reclamation no longer supports GSTARS 2.1 and GSTARS 3.0, the Hydroscience and Training Center of Colorado State University has been asked by the Bureau of Reclamation, since 2005, to make GSTARS 2.1 and GSTARS 3.0 available for downloading.
