Table 1.1 Comparisons of Three Modeling Approaches<br />

Characteristics Advantages Disadvantages<br />

Physical<br />

models<br />

Derived from fundamental Model parameters are<br />

physical laws; Large meaningful;<br />

collections of nonlinear<br />

Extrapolates well in case<br />

equations<br />

of limited training data<br />

Difficult to develop <strong>and</strong> solve<br />

the model;<br />

Need more detailed physical<br />

description <strong>and</strong> data<br />

Black-<br />

Input/output relationship<br />

Easy to develop <strong>and</strong><br />

Poor extrapolation;<br />

box<br />

models<br />

to fit the train data by<br />

optimizing per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

realize; Accurate fits<br />

within the training data<br />

range; Computational<br />

Model parameters have no<br />

simplicity<br />

Gray-box Combination of physical<br />

models <strong>and</strong> black box model;<br />

Use semi-empirical<br />

expressions<br />

Easier to develop than<br />

physical model <strong>and</strong> has<br />

good interpolating <strong>and</strong><br />

extrapolating<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

A little difficult <strong>and</strong> expensive<br />

to develop<br />
