Fokker-Planck equation
(shows likelihood of velocity over time of a disturbed particle)
The Fokker-Planck equation gives the density of the probability
of possible velocities for a particle both experiencing drag
and random disturbances, e.g., as per Brownian motion. The equation
has uses in fluid dynamics, and in astrophysics it has also
been used to model the effect stars have on other passing stars,
such as within stellar clusters or entire galaxies.
