Computer modeling is the process of using computers to create a virtual representation of something, like a product, an idea, or a system. It helps us understand and predict how things work and can be used to solve problems or test different scenarios without actually building or testing them in real life.

You may recall recently an animal rights activist suggested we
use computer models instead of experimental animals to test new drugs.
We're not told the research is based
on computer models built on completely inadequate data whose predictions are consistently incorrect.
This is confirmed by the failure of all predictions, forecasts, or scenarios
from computer models built on that database.
They
built computer models from inadequate data and serious limitations in understanding most weather variables and mechanisms.
They both developed from false assumptions, used manipulated data and science, which they combined
into computer models whose projections were, not surprisingly, wrong.
Information is transmitted to a satellite when the animals surface to breathe and is used to
create computer models that will better predict ocean circulation patterns.
A
new computer model now shows how these gravity monsters influence the large - scale structure of our universe.
Scientists use
climate computer models to compare these observed changes with natural climate drivers and human climate drivers.
The rational interpretation of current CO2 levels and temperature compared with the past is that the they aren't nearly as closely related as
computer models suggest.
If the temperature plateau continued for another 10 years, would that be enough to cast doubt on the climate
computer model predictions?
The team then used
sophisticated computer modeling systems to process the scan data and simulate how the amount and distribution of bone loss would affect the ability to sustain mechanical loads and movements.
To wit, the effect of CO2 induced climate change is determined by
running computer models assuming no change in CO2.
He and his collaborators employed both simple and
complex computer models in early studies of the role of clouds in climate change, and in research on the climatic effects of massive volcanic eruptions.
Even global temperatures aren't rising as fast as the global warming
computer models say they should be, as we pointed out in this space recently.
This information can be used with
3D computer modelling to prepare the evidence to use the full collision circumstances.
Of greater concern (whether true or not) is how
well computer models can account for feedback effects in relation to cloud cover.
In fact, information from deep - sea studies such as this will be essential to
improving computer models of global carbon cycling and climate change.
He argues that the
current computer models which make more alarming predictions are unreliable, and based on the assumption of large positive «water vapour feedbacks».
Working with the school's department of systems design, engineers are using
detailed computer modeling to study the dynamics and performance of hockey sticks.
The robust study, years in the making, also applied advanced structural and 3 -
D computer modeling analysis to identify the underlying basis for the new compound's success.
Where computer models of 30 years ago were struggling to make good use of these, current - day methods allow for a superior reconstruction of the atmosphere.
He says the relatively simple
computer model provided an excellent basis for planning the experiments by enabling the researchers to change the components rapidly and thereby identify important aspects.
