Codes for electromagnetic scattering by cylinders – this article list codes for electromagnetic scattering by a cylinder.
Majority of existing codes for calculation of electromagnetic scattering by a single cylinder are based on Mie theory, which is an analytical solution of Maxwell's equations in terms of infinite series.
