Abstract: We present a comprehensive review of recent work on numerical modelling of frequency comb generation in coherently-driven nonlinear resonators. Specifically, we discuss modelling and nonlinear dynamics of frequency combs generated in Kerr nonlinear microresonators, emphasizing links to similar dynamics studied in macroscopic fibre cavities. In addition to established Kerr frequency comb generators, we will also discuss emerging comb generation platforms based on continuously-driven quadratically nonlinear resonators.
