Abstract
“Science is now a tripartite endeavour with simulation added to the two classical components, experiment and theory (Robinson, 1987). The routine use of numerical “simulation in scientific research (numerical experimentation, sensitivity and process studies, etc.) is thought by many to represent the first major step forward in the basic scientific method since the seventeenth century”(Robinson, 1987).
