模拟重力是一项研究计划，旨在研究其他物理系统（通常但不限于凝聚态系统）中广义相对论引力场的类似物，以获得对其相应问题的新见解。引力的模拟模型（和模拟模型）有着悠久而杰出的历史，可以追溯到广义相对论的早期。在这篇综述文章中，我们将讨论各种模拟模型的历史、目标、结果和未来前景。在探索文献中讨论的丰富的历史和复杂的模型之前，我们通过提出一个特别简单的模拟模型的例子开始讨论。特别是在过去的十年里，模拟重力的思想得到了显著和持续的发展，导致了数百篇发表的文章，一个研讨会，两本书，以及这篇评论文章。模拟重力计划的未来前景也很有希望，无论是在实验方面（技术正在迅速发展）还是在理论方面（模拟模型的变体可以用作对量子重力问题进行激进攻击的跳板）。
Analogue gravity is a research programme which investigates analogues of general relativistic gravitational fields within other physical systems, typically but not exclusively condensed matter systems, with the aim of gaining new insights into their corresponding problems. Analogue models of (and for) gravity have a long and distinguished history dating back to the earliest years of general relativity. In this review article we will discuss the history, aims, results, and future prospects for the various analogue models. We start the discussion by presenting a particularly simple example of an analogue model, before exploring the rich history and complex tapestry of models discussed in the literature. The last decade in particular has seen a remarkable and sustained development of analogue gravity ideas, leading to some hundreds of published articles, a workshop, two books, and this review article. Future prospects for the analogue gravity programme also look promising, both on the experimental front (where technology is rapidly advancing) and on the theoretical front (where variants of analogue models can be used as a springboard for radical attacks on the problem of quantum gravity).
