I recently (last friday) got my MSc graduation with a thesis on
physics-based (a.k.a. physical) modeling for sound processing and was
just about to post a link on this mailing list.

http://naspro.atheme.org/public/mt_dangelo.pdf

It contains a (not very deep) theoretical introduction to
physics-based modeling, cites some free/open source projects such as
FAUST, JACK, LV2, Ingen, etc., describes a new FAUST-like
(conceptually but not syntactically) programming language for the task
called Permafrost, whose compiler I released under a BSD license - it
generates LV2 plugins, and in the end a concrete use case is examined
by developing a tube amplifier simulator (the whole source code is
included in an appendix).

The "Linux Audio community", and especially some people infesting this
list ;-), is also listed in the acknowledgements, so I take the
opportunity to thank you all for having helped me learning so many
things about audio processing in these years, either through normal
discussion or flames.

Best regards,

Stefano
