simulation, run on a single computer, or a network of computers, to reproduce behavior of a system; modeling a real physical system in a computer
A 48-hour computer simulation of Typhoon Mawar using the Weather Research and Forecasting model Process of building a computer model, and the interplay between experiment, simulation, and theory
Computer simulation is the running of a mathematical model on a computer, the model being designed to represent the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict. Computer simulations have become a useful tool for the mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics (computational physics), astrophysics, climatology, chemistry, biology and manufacturing, as well as human systems in economics, psychology, social science, health care and engineering. Simulation of a system is represented as the running of the system's model. It can be used to explore and gain new insights into new technology and to estimate the performance of systems too complex for analytical solutions.
