Summary: 
We have proposed an algorithm to apply perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition to the noncubic cell time-domain method. The extended method has a merit of flexibility in truncating the computational domain by the use of a curvilinear PML. In this paper we apply a circular PML for computing the scattered fields of a dielectric cylinder or cylindrical shell of arbitrary cross section shape. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of this method.
