The mathematical modeling limits regarding physical behavior of engineering systems, for the ease of analytical / numerical solution, are highlighted to avoid over simplification that may ruin the design. Too complicated model may prove expensive in computational cost and waste of time. The critical physical contributions that need to be included in modeling certain applications are also pointed out. Some very basic concepts derived from Continuum Thermo-Mechanics, which are normally not addressed for reasons unknown, regarding detonation modeling and explosive material interaction are presented. The numerical solution procedures are also reviewed along with their merits or demerits.
