numerical simulations, Ishikawa and Kikuchi have shown that microorganisms can ingeniously escape from a dead end by swimming.
Although there are more traditional approaches to answering these questions —
using particle accelerators, astrophysical observations,
numerical simulations, and tools of condensed matter physics and chemistry — the extreme tunability and relative simplicity of ultracold matter
experiments make them a compelling alternative.
They then perform
numerical experiments to see if their models can predict these storms better than the original forecasts

This session examined the biogeochemical processes that are likely to affect the evolution of the Earth system over the coming decades, with a focus on the dynamics of marine and terrestrial ecosystems and the development of improved understanding through (a) fieldwork and laboratory
experiments, (b) development of new observational datasets, both modern and palaeo, and (c) simulations
using numerical models.

Throughout the next decade, many idealized
numerical experiments demonstrated the capability of this model to produce a realistic hurricane structure, although it would not be until the 1980s that simulations would be attempted
using data from real storms.
The only sane way the is diagnostic (checking if some global conservation laws are not broken by the model, — this can catch bugs and inadequacies of the
numerical methods) and extensive validation (this catch inadequacies in modeling, which involves approximation and elimination of some factors, to obtain a tractable model, and is always present even for particle physics simulation, which directly
use first principles (model an idealised version of an
experiment).

used and developed uncompromisingly for «Hypothesis testing,
numerical experiments, to understand how the climate system works, including its sensitivity to altered forcing,» such a policy to continue until climate model building becomes better understood.
