Dynamic instability may refer to any of several scientific phenomena:
*
Aircraft dynamic modes
The dynamic stability of an aircraft refers to how the aircraft behaves after it has been disturbed following steady non-oscillating flight.
Longitudinal modes
Oscillating motions can be described by two parameters, the period of time required ...

*
Atmospheric instability
Atmospheric instability is a condition where the Earth's atmosphere is generally considered to be unstable and as a result the weather is subjected to a high degree of variability through distance and time. Atmospheric stability is a measure of th ...

Flutter, in aeroelasticity, a branch of mechanics
*
Hydrodynamic instability
In fluid dynamics, hydrodynamic stability is the field which analyses the stability and the onset of instability of fluid flows. The study of hydrodynamic stability aims to find out if a given flow is stable or unstable, and if so, how these insta ...
