kosmatau3d is the result of two doctoral theses. It owes its current form to rigourous testing and suggestions from several people. Its core developers were Silke Andree-Labsch (for KOSMA-\(\tau\) 3D) and Craig Yanitski (for kosmatau3d). Both were advised by Priv. Doz. Dr. Volker Ossenkopf-Okada in the group C1 in SFB 956. Aditi Sinha is now also developer focusing on the implementation of kosmatau3d as a subgrid model for the SILCC (M)HD simulations. She is advised by Priv. Doz. Dr. Volker Ossenkopf-Okada in the group A6 in SFB 1601.

Further feedback and assistance were provided by Markus Rollig, Christoph Bruckmann, Yoko Okada, Aleena Baby, Slawa Kabanovic, Christof Buchbender, Ronan Higgins, Juan-Luis Verbena, Cristian Guevara, and Prachi Khatri.
