The heavy quark energy loss puzzle is explained by collective floweffects in a dynamic medium. The dead cone and LPM effect are foundto be changed comparing to the static medium case. The collectiveflow induces difference of two dead cones in two differentkinds of processes. One is from the projectile emitting gluonprocess, the same as that in the static medium. The other is fromthe gluon emission off the exchanged gluon process, decreasing withincreasing flow velocity $v_z$ along jet direction, which lead tothe increase of heavy quark energy loss. The differences in theeffective average energy loss among charm, bottom and light quarksare very little from a full 3D ideal hydrodynamic simulation for0-10$%$ central Au-Au collisions at RHIC energy. This would yieldsimilar high $p_{T}$ suppressions between light and heavy quarks forcentral Au-Au collisions.
