Integrating calibrated models with computational physics simulations

Abstract

A computer-implemented method of integrating a calibrated model with physics computations in a computer-based simulation of a planned or existing real-world environment is disclosed. The method includes representing a selected component with a calibrated model thereof, wherein the calibrated model of the selected component defines an interface boundary and a modeled region, which is inside the interface boundary and distinct from a physics region, which is outside the interface boundary. The method includes producing modeled solution variable values based on the calibrated model at computational points along the interface boundary of the calibrated model. The method includes producing computed solution variable values based on physics computations at computational points in the physics region. The method includes exchanging the modeled variable values with the computed variable values across the interface boundary.
