DESCRIPTION:gprMax (https://www.gprmax.com/) is an open-source software pa
 ckage for computational electrodynamics. Designed with a general electroma
 gnetic (EM) solver engine\, it has a set of core features developed for mo
 delling Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). gprMax uses the classical Yee cell
  and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method to solve Maxwell&rsquo\;s
  equations in 3D with 2nd order accurate derivatives in space and time. It
  is the de facto tool for GPR forward modelling and is expanding with elec
 tromagnetic applications in other research domains\, e.g. bio-medical\, pl
 anetary science.\n&nbsp\;\ngprMax has a unique combination of advanced mod
 elling capability (e.g. heterogeneous\, dispersive soil models\, fractal-b
 ased topography) and performance (OpenMP/MPI/CUDA) not available in other 
 open-source and commercial FDTD codes. These capabilties make gprMax a cap
 able forward modelling tool that can form part of an inversion framework f
 or electromagnetic problems/applications.
