Isn't that like using a computer simulation to test physics theorys that are not practical for real world simulation?
If you give me a few days on google I could tell you more.
Nevermind that first statement I found a definition.
Computational physics is physics done by means of computational methods. Computers do not enter into this tentative definition. The essential point in computational physics is not the use of machines, but the systematic application of numerical techniques in place of, and in addition to, analytical methods, in order to render accessible to computation as large a part of physical reality as possible.
