Do you need to describe specific models or generic types?
One group is as
Conceptual (=thought experiments)
Mathematical (includes computer models)
Physical (e.g. a mechanical model of the solar system like an orrery)
Physicist Georg William de Tunzelmann distingushed in 1910 three "models“ of the universe:
the mechanical,
the molecular and
the mental.
Another grouping is as:
iconic
analogue
symbolic.
