Gas dynamics

Gas dynamics is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of gases, particularly when they interact with moving objects. Since air is a gas, aerodynamics it is technically a branch of gas dynamics. Both share many of the same principles and fundamental equations and the terms are often used interchangeably.
