Codes for electromagnetic scattering by cylinders - this article list codes for electromagnetic scattering by a cylinder. Some of the source codes may be available on http://code.google.com/p/scatterlib/.

Majority of existing codes for calculation of electromagnetic scattering by a single cylinder are based on Mie theory

Mie theory

The Mie solution to Maxwell's equations describes the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a sphere...

, which is an analytical solution of Maxwell's equations in terms of infinite series.
