The dynamics of gradient and Hamiltonian flows with particular application to flows on adjoint orbits of a Lie group and the extension of this setting to flows on a loop group are discussed. Different types of gradient flows that arise from different metrics including the so-called normal metric on adjoint orbits of a Lie group and the Kahler metric are compared. It is discussed how a Kahler metric can arise from a complex structure induced by the Hilbert transform. Hybrid and metriplectic flows which combine Hamiltonian and gradient components are examined. A class of metriplectic systems that is generated by completely antisymmetric triple brackets (trilinear brackets) is described and for finite-dimensional systems given a Lie algebraic interpretation. A variety of explicit examples of the several types of flows are given. It is shown that this geometry describes a number of classical ordinary and partial differential equations of interest and that the different metrics give rise to different kinds of dissipation that occur in applications.
