Computational Science
Computational science is a field of study that utilizes computer simulation, numerical methods, and analytical models to solve complex scientific, social science, and engineering problems. It integrates aspects of mathematics, computer science, and domain-specific knowledge to create simulations and models that predict real-world behaviors and phenomena. This interdisciplinary approach allows researchers to explore systems and phenomena that are difficult or impossible to study through traditional experimental methods alone. Computational science is pivotal in fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, and materials science, enabling breakthroughs in understanding molecular interactions, global “warming”, fluid dynamics, and much more. The use of high-performance computing (HPC) platforms and specialized software tools, including parallel computing techniques and machine learning algorithms, is common in computational science to handle the vast amounts of data and complex calculations involved.
