A model is an informative representation of an object, person, or system. The term originally denoted the plans of a building in late 16th-century English, and derived via French and Italian ultimately from Latin modulus , a measure.

30-427: A set of mathematical equations attempting to describe the workings of the atmosphere for the purpose of weather forecasting. It consists of concepts used to help understand or simulate a subject the model represents. Abstract or conceptual models are central to philosophy of science , as almost every scientific theory effectively embeds some kind of model of the physical or human sphere . In some sense,

Abstract or conceptual models are central to philosophy of science . In scholarly research and applied science, a model should not be confused with a theory : while a model seeks only to represent reality with the purpose of better understanding or predicting

90-474: A larger fixed scale vertically when modelling topography to enhance a region's mountains. An architectural model permits visualization of internal relationships within the structure or external relationships of the structure to the environment. Another use is as a toy . Instrumented physical models are an effective way of investigating fluid flows for engineering design. Physical models are often coupled with computational fluid dynamics models to optimize
105-401: A physical model "is always the reification of some conceptual model; the conceptual model is conceived ahead as the blueprint of the physical one", which is then constructed as conceived. Thus, the term refers to models that are formed after a conceptualization or generalization process. According to Herbert Stachowiak , a model is characterized by at least three properties: For example,

The geometry of the model and the object it represents are often similar in the sense that one is a rescaling of the other. However, in many cases the similarity is only approximate or even intentionally distorted. Sometimes the distortion is systematic, e.g., a fixed scale horizontally and
165-449: The design of equipment and processes. This includes external flow such as around buildings, vehicles, people, or hydraulic structures . Wind tunnel and water tunnel testing is often used for these design efforts. Instrumented physical models can also examine internal flows, for the design of ductwork systems, pollution control equipment, food processing machines, and mixing vessels. Transparent flow models are used in this case to observe

These models are scaled in terms of both geometry and important forces, for example, using Froude number or Reynolds number scaling (see Similitude ). In the pre-computer era, the UK economy was modelled with the hydraulic model MONIAC , to predict for example the effect of tax rises on employment. A conceptual model is a theoretical representation of a system, e.g.

As a noun, model has specific meanings in certain fields, derived from its original meaning of "structural design or layout ": A physical model (most commonly referred to simply as a model but in this context distinguished from a conceptual model ) is a smaller or larger physical representation of an object , person or system . The object being modelled may be small (e.g., an atom ) or large (e.g.,
