Models in Science

  • Observing something (Experimentation)
  • Finding a rule (Hypothesis)
  • Checking whether the rule is right (Verification)

Dominos falling The number of dominos and the time of complete fall are related If we double the number of dominos, the time of fall increases twofold

  • Rainfall causes stream flow
  • More rainfall means more streamflow
  • And more rainfall means more sediments

Physical modelling

 Physical model is a smaller or larger physical copy of an object that we

would like to study its behaviour.

 A physical model of something large is usually smaller, and of something

very small is larger.

 A Physical model allows visualization from examining the model.

Examples:

  • Analysis of rivers, floods and design of flood mitigation structures:
  • Testing of flow patterns and scour around bridge piers:

  • Sediment transport in a river:
  • Even Tsunami analysis!

Examples:

Video: Advantages of a physical model:

  • You can understand better your system by

visualization.

  • You can improve it.
  • You can have a proof of concept.
  • Sometimes you can use it to predict the
  • behaviour of the real system.

Disadvantages:

  • Sometimes it can be expensive, time-

consuming and maybe inaccurate!
