MCCL: an open-source software application for Monte Carlo simulations of radiative transport

Abstract

The Monte Carlo Command Line application (MCCL) is an open-source software package that provides Monte Carlo simulations of radiative transport through heterogeneous turbid media. MCCL is available on GitHub through our virtualphotonics.org website, is actively supported, and carries extensive documentation. Here, we describe the main technical capabilities, the overall software architecture, and the operational details of MCCL.
