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
The Mie solution to Maxwell's equations (also known as the Lorenz–Mie solution, the Lorenz–Mie–Debye solution or Mie scattering) describes the scattering of an electromagnetic plane wave by a homogeneous sphere. The solution takes the ...

Maxwell's equations
Maxwell's equations, or Maxwell–Heaviside equations, are a set of coupled partial differential equations that, together with the Lorentz force law, form the foundation of classical electromagnetism, classical optics, and electric circuits ...
in terms of infinite series.
