Continuum Physics
-
These give rise to different algorithms and in some cases, one will mix these different descriptions. We will briefly describe these with a pointer to types of algorithms used.
-
These descriptions underly several different fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, environmental modeling, climatology.
-
- indeed any field that studies physical world from a reasonably fundamental point of view.
-
For instance, they directly underly weather prediction as this is phrased in terms of properties of atmosphere.
-
However, if you simulate a chemical plant, you would not phrase this directly in terms of atomic properties but rather in terms of phenomenological macroscopic artifacts - "pipes", "valves", "machines", "people" etc.
