Modeling and simulation have quickly become equivalent pillars of research along with traditional theory and experimentation. The growing realization that most complex phenomena of interest span many orders of spatial and temporal scales has led to an exponential rise in the development and application of multiscale modeling and simulation over the past two decades. In this perspective, the associate editors of the International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering and their co-workers illustrate current applications in their respective fields spanning biomolecular structure and dynamics, civil engineering and materials science, computational mechanics, aerospace and mechanical engineering, and more. Such applications are highly tailored, exploit the latest and ever-evolving advances in both computer hardware and software, and contribute significantly to science, technology, and medical challenges in the 21st century.
建模与仿真已迅速成为与传统理论和实验同等重要的研究支柱。在过去二十年里，人们越来越意识到，大多数感兴趣的复杂现象跨越了多个空间和时间尺度，这导致多尺度建模与仿真的开发和应用呈指数级增长。从这个角度来看，《国际多尺度计算工程杂志》的副主编及其同事展示了其在各自领域的当前应用，涵盖生物分子结构与动力学、土木工程与材料科学、计算力学、航空航天与机械工程等。这些应用高度定制化，利用了计算机硬件和软件方面最新且不断发展的进展，并为21世纪的科学、技术和医学挑战做出了重大贡献。
