    Terminology for the Description of Dynamics (TEDDY) aims to provide an ontology for dynamical behaviours, observable dynamical phenomena, and control elements of bio-models and biological systems in Systems Biology and Synthetic Biology.

  5. Geodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodynamics

    Geodynamics is a broad field which combines observations from many different types of geological study into a broad picture of the dynamics of Earth. Close to the surface of the Earth, data includes field observations, geodesy, radiometric dating, petrology, mineralogy, drilling boreholes and remote sensing techniques. However, beyond a few ...

  6. Dynamical systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory

    System dynamics is an approach to understanding the behaviour of systems over time. It deals with internal feedback loops and time delays that affect the behaviour and state of the entire system. [3] What makes using system dynamics different from other approaches to studying systems is the language used to describe feedback loops with stocks ...

  7. Complex dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_dynamics

    Complex dynamics, or holomorphic dynamics, is the study of dynamical systems obtained by iterating a complex analytic mapping. This article focuses on the case of algebraic dynamics, where a polynomial or rational function is iterated. In geometric terms, that amounts to iterating a mapping from some algebraic variety to itself.

  8. Relativistic dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_dynamics

    What distinguishes relativistic dynamics from other physical theories is the use of an invariant scalar evolution parameter to monitor the historical evolution of space-time events. In a scale-invariant theory, the strength of particle interactions does not depend on the energy of the particles involved. [1]

  9. Plume (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plume_(fluid_dynamics)

    Usually, there is a transition from laminar to turbulent as the plume moves away from its source. This phenomenon can be clearly seen in the rising column of smoke from a cigarette. When high accuracy is required, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be employed to simulate plumes, but the results can be sensitive to the turbulence model chosen.
