compartmental dynamics

Compartmental dynamics is a way to understand how substances or people move between different sections, or "compartments," over time. Each compartment represents a state or location, like organs in the body or stages in an infection. The model uses mathematical equations to describe the rates of transfer between compartments, helping us analyze processes such as disease spread, drug distribution, or ecological systems. This approach simplifies complex systems by breaking them down into manageable parts, allowing us to predict future behavior and make informed decisions based on how systems evolve over time.
