Abstract

The study deals with the complex systems in Nature by using of some specific numerical methods. First the method of the physical similarity is used for the characterization of the fluids flow regimes. Then, the method of the power laws and some of its multiple uses in Physics and another related fields are analyzed. The method of phenomenological universality, applied to the description of the growth processes is also discussed. The authors results presented in the paper were mainly obtained by computer simulations using the finite difference (FD) method and the classical gradient method (CGM).
