Dynamics (from
Greek δυναμικός ''dynamikos'' "powerful", from δύναμις ''dynamis'' "
power") or dynamic may refer to:
Physics and engineering
*
Dynamics (mechanics)
Dynamics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the study of forces and their effects on motion. Isaac Newton was the first to formulate the fundamental physical laws that govern dynamics in classical non-relativistic phys ...
**
Aerodynamics, the study of the motion of air
**
Analytical dynamics, the motion of bodies as induced by external forces
**
Brownian dynamics, the occurrence of Langevin dynamics in the motion of particles in solution
**
File dynamics
The term file dynamics is the motion of many particles in a narrow channel.
In science: in chemistry, physics, mathematics and related fields, file dynamics (sometimes called, single file dynamics) is the diffusion of ''N'' (''N'' → ∞) ident ...
, stochastic motion of particles in a channel
**
Flight dynamics, the science of aircraft and spacecraft design
**
Fluid dynamics
In physics and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids— liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including ''aerodynamics'' (the study of air and other gases in motion) an ...
or ''hydrodynamics'', the study of fluid flow
***
Computational fluid dynamics, a way of studying fluid dynamics using numerical methods
**
Fractional dynamics, dynamics with integrations and differentiations of fractional orders
**
Molecular dynamics, the study of motion on the molecular level
**
Langevin dynamics, a mathematical model for stochastic dynamics
**
Orbital dynamics, the study of the motion of rockets and spacecraft
**
Quantum chromodynamics
In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks mediated by gluons. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up composite hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type ...
, a theory of the strong interaction (color force)
**
Quantum electrodynamics, a description of how matter and light interact
**
Relativistic dynamics, a combination of relativistic and quantum concepts
**
Stellar dynamics Stellar dynamics is the branch of astrophysics which describes in a statistical way the collective motions of stars subject to their mutual gravity. The essential difference from celestial mechanics is that the number of body N \gg 10.
Typica ...
, a description of the collective motion of stars
**
System dynamics
System dynamics (SD) is an approach to understanding the nonlinear behaviour of complex systems over time using stocks, flows, internal feedback loops, table functions and time delays.
Overview
System dynamics is a methodology and mathematical ...
, the study of the behavior of complex systems
**
Thermodynamics, the study of the relationships between heat and mechanical energy
**
Vehicle dynamics
