There is the thesis in english that explains for some stuff, physical
modelling is very hard and less effective than easier to understand
and implement methods. http://smack.berlios.de/thesis.pdf The thesis
isn't great but it was a huge amount of work, and it's full of maths,
sound samples, etc. ;) The guy in this case is me. :) You can use
karplus-strong (physics inspired..) very easily for string synthesis
but modelling the bow is still a huge task.

I was thinking of a physical model maybe. I've read once a PhD
of a guy modelling a classic guitar. Full of maths, differential equations
and so on. And some audio samples were provided. It sounded nice.
The guy is Grégoire Derveaux.
The PhD is at: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/macs/spip.php?article102
It's in french but there is: http://www-rocq.inria.fr/macs/spip.php?article81
It is not realtime as far as I know. Or any string instrument that you play with a
bow
if cello is too specific.
I think this will be fantastically difficult to sound decent, unless
you want a very simple and limited instrument. The range of different
strokes with the bow is extensive, and the complex combination of
speed /angle / force / distance from bridge would be irreproducibile.
Have you tried playing a bowed instrument? I think working out how to
do it without some bow technique knowledge would be hard. I suspect
either a real cello / electric cello or getting an EUB would be a far
superior option. If you want to make that wacky have effects on the
electric cello with some stomp boxes.
