Multi-principal element (MPE) alloys can be designed to have outstanding properties for a variety of applications. However, because of the compositional and phase complexity of these alloys, the experimental efforts in this area have often utilized trial and error tests. Consequently, computational modeling and simulations have emerged as power tools to accelerate the study and design of MPE alloys while decreasing the experimental costs. In this article, various computational modeling tools (such as density functional theory calculations and atomistic simulations) used to study the nano/microstructures and properties (such as mechanical and magnetic properties) of MPE alloys are reviewed. The advantages and limitations of these computational tools are also discussed. This study aims to assist the researchers to identify the capabilities of the state-of-the-art computational modeling and simulations for MPE alloy research.

Billions of math operations per second may be performed by computers anymore. Obviously, a human life-time would be needed to do the same number of computations. When used in medication, the groundbreaking potential of the mathematical modeling approach is obvious. In Medicine, mathematical modeling is able to vastly improve both drug creation and clinic technology. Progress in technology and the development of new experimental methods has had a noteworthy effect on the study of disease. This has raised new researching opportunities, such as: gathering in-depth ‘molecular fingerprints’ from patients carrying information, for example, on genotype, gene or protein expression, or metabolism levels; studying intracellular processes in living and diseased tissue through the control of gene activity inside the cells; and creating understandable illness-specific databases that include both patients’ medical history with laboratory and clinical data in addition to storing useful tissue samples. In this article, the authors attempt to provide the readers with a view of current and future use of mathematical modeling in medicine.
