Hydrodynamics is the study of motion in liquids while aerodynamics is the study of motion in gases. But both of them are part of the study of fluid dynamics.
Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics are some good types of fluid dynamics. Hydrodynamics is the study of fluids in motion while aerodynamics is that study of air and gases in motion.
Aerodynamics is the study of gases in motion. This is a subfield of fluid dynamics and gas dynamics. Gas dynamics encompasses the study of all gases not just air.

Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics that deals with the motion of air and other gaseous fluids and with the forces acting on bodies in motion relative to such fluids. However if you were interested in the flow of fluid around a moving object, you simply stick it into a wind tunnel.

Dynamics is an eight-letter word. The dynamics of the battlefield helped us carry the day. Hydrodynamics and aerodynamics ARE relative fields.
