Lagrangian particle tracking is a method used in fluid dynamics and various fields involving dynamical systems to study the movement of individual particles or tracer elements as they move through a flow field. The approach focuses on the trajectory of particles as they are carried by the flow, as opposed to taking a fixed viewpoint of the fluid (Eulerian perspective) where one describes the flow field at fixed locations over time.
