Abstract

Mathematical modeling of physical processes yields a system of partial differential equations that describes the behavior of a system physically correct and allows for analytical and numerical predictions of the system behavior. Here we start by shortly summarizing modeling principles which are illustrated for simple linear models in one space dimension. Then this is specified for different types of wave equations.
