  We propose a versatile THz source named FLUTE (“Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment”) based on a 30 - 50 MeV S-band linac with bunch compressor, that shall not only provide high field THz pulses applications but shall also serve as a test facility to study important accelerator physics issues. This is also of importance in view of the planned utltra-broadband THz to mid infrared user facility TBONE. Special emphasis is put on studies of bunch compression and beam stability as a function of bunch charge (0.1-5 nC) and of different generation mechanisms of coherent radiation (CSR, CER, CTR). This paper describes the design and layout of the proposed FLUTE machine and presents results of beam dynamic calculations with the tracking programs ASTRA and CSRtrack.
