Hydrostatics and fluid dynamics.

Stuck on a part of my assignment.
What is the difference between hydrodynamic fluid and hydrostatic fluid? Give examples on each fluid from the environment and from the construction industry.
Any help would be great!

Hydrostatic fluid is not moving. Hydrodynamic fluid implies there are forces which implies the fluid is stationary (due to balance of forces) or it is moving. The prefix, "hydro" means water.
