- Title
Computersimulationen: Modellierungen 2. Ordnung.
- Authors
Küppers, Günter; Lenhard, Johannes
- Abstract
Computer simulations will be characterized in epistemic respect as a method between experiment and theory. It will be argued that simulations do not provide numerical solutions, rather they use generative mechanisms to imitate a dynamics. Climate science will be considered as a case both systematically and historically. Only simulation experiments allow to build models that imitate a dynamics without solving the relevant equations.
