May 25, 2013 at 22:27 comment added TerronaBell "Hamilton-Jacobi" may be a useful keyword. Many Hamiltonian systems can be described in terms of either individual particle trajectories (ODE) or propagation of the corresponding wavefront (PDE).

Mar 26, 2013 at 19:31 comment added Will Jagy Same answer for vibrating string. That was how it was actually presented in a physics class I took.
Mar 26, 2013 at 17:41 comment added Ben McKay Clearly the heat equation is an example, in that the motion of the molecules of a heated material is described by a huge system of ODEs, but in a certain limit the material behaves like a continuum. But this sort of ``rescaling'' is really the domain of expertise of physicists. Maybe ask on physics.stackexchange.com.
Mar 26, 2013 at 17:27 comment added Igor Khavkine The answer obviously depends on the details of a specific case. Would you care to elaborate on yours? Note that the reverse operation is a routine aspect of numerical analysis of PDEs. However the resulting ODEs have special "sparse" structure.
