Fire dynamics simulators are computer programs that model the spread of fire, helping predict how it will react to different scenarios. They divide fires into small sections, incorporating factors such as materials, temperatures, fuel sources, and wind. These programs rely on computational fluid dynamics and data from previous fires. Firefighters, manufacturers, and code developers use […]
Economic dynamics is the analysis of changes in macroeconomic and microeconomic factors in an economic system over a period of time. It includes monitoring business cycles and market behavior, such as stock market activities and interest rate changes. Economic dynamics is a term used to refer to the act of monitoring an economic system with […]
Strategy dynamics are a tool used by companies to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of business operations, often using a resource-based strategy view. Diagrams and flowcharts are used to assess these dynamics, and refinement may be needed to ensure success. Many companies have a strong desire to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of business operations. […]
Customer dynamics refers to the ongoing exchange of information and transactions between a customer and a vendor, including emotions and relationship building. Assessing customer dynamics helps to identify ways to strengthen ties with customers, gather feedback for product improvement, and potentially lead to changes in policies and procedures. Customer dynamics is a term used to […]
Keystroke dynamics analyzes a person’s typing habits to create a unique digital signature, increasing computer security. It is a form of biometrics that can be used in combination with traditional access systems or in real-time monitoring mode. Keystroke dynamics require no specialized hardware and can strengthen existing access systems. Typing dynamics, also known as typing […]
Molecular dynamics studies particle motion using mathematical formulas programmed into computers for virtual experiments. These simulations accurately predict the behavior of real molecules and can observe motion over time and under extreme conditions. Equations based on Newton’s laws track molecular bonds and can be applied to small particles, with occasional use of quantum particle laws. […]
Fluid dynamics studies fluids in motion, while fluid statics studies fluids at rest. It has many applications, including aerodynamics and weather forecasting. Conservation laws and the continuum assumption are guiding principles. Aerodynamics has advanced with the invention of aircraft, and Octave Chanute was a key figure in modern aerodynamics. Fluid dynamics refers to one subcategory […]
Flight dynamics analyzes how aircraft and spacecraft move through the air/space, the forces and control systems that maintain flight, and the external physical forces acting on them. The science is applied to determine how air/spacecraft behave when control mechanisms are used to rotate the vehicle in any of the three axes of pitch, roll, and […]
Analytic dynamics is a branch of physics that describes the effects of forces on physical objects, using Sir Isaac Newton’s theories and calculus. Later scientists, such as Lagrange and Hamilton, generalized the behavior of physical systems with more advanced mathematics, leading to the study of field theories and quantum mechanics. Analytic dynamics uses scalar properties […]
Spiral Dynamics is a theory of human development that explains how people adapt to new situations by creating a more complex conceptual model of the world. It is based on research by Clare W. Graves and is organized around a system of core values known as vMemes. Critics argue that the theory could lead to […]
Strategic dynamics are used to evaluate business operations, often using a resource-based strategy model and diagrams to measure inputs and outputs. The novelty of the field means refinement may be necessary, and multiple tools may be needed for analysis. Many companies have a strong desire to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of business operations. Strategic […]
