The phrase "a physical experiment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to an experiment that involves tangible materials or physical processes, as opposed to theoretical or computational studies.
Example: "In our science class, we conducted a physical experiment to observe the effects of temperature on the rate of chemical reactions."
Alternatives: "a hands-on experiment" or "a tangible experiment".
True, the human mind cannot be researched with the rigor of a physical experiment.
A physical experiment using an appropriate electric circuit confirms the above results.
In concert with the simulation work, the researchers will operate a physical experiment of the solar collector to test the predictions and identify other critical sensitivities.
At last, the MRS-based NAH is further examined and verified by a physical experiment, a vibrating cubic model reconstructed from measurement on a spherical hologram.
A physical experiment was conducted to demonstrate new features of plasma generation technology where results are compared with plasma simulation using Elmer FEM.
A physical experiment shows that shortening applied to existing diapirs and minibasins produces anomalous structural styles that are unlike those of more typical foldbelts.
[A similar concept, in one degree of freedom, was pioneered by a group at MIT (see Hover et al., 1998), in studies of vortex-induced vibration of cables.] Although the use of a cyber-physical system has clear advantages over using a purely physical experiment, there are serious challenges to overcome in the design of the governing control system.
By carrying out a corresponding physical experiment, we demonstrate that micron-scale features in Vitreloy-1 may be accurately replicated under the processing conditions determined by use of the numerical simulation capability.
A 3D physical experiment in the laboratory is adopted to verify the numerical model whose experimental equipment is capable of simulating radial well fracturing with actual stress distribution both in horizontal and vertical direction.
We'd like to be able to build models in code that we can then run to predict effects, which we then might test with an actual physical experiment.
To investigate the influence of directionality on intermediate- and deep-water (kh= 1.09 3.49) wave breaking, an elaborately designed physical experiment was conducted in an 'X' configuration, where two identical two-dimensional wave trains were generated and propagated with an approach angle of 8° (i.e. a weakly three-dimensional configuration) and encountered each other in an interaction region.
