Conformal Relativistic Viscous Hydrodynamics: Applications to RHIC
A new set of equations for relativistic viscous hydrodynamics that captures both weak-coupling and strong-coupling physics to second order in gradients has been developed recently. We apply this framework to bulk physics at RHIC, both for standard (Glaubertype) as well as for Color-Glass-Condensate initial conditions and show that the results do not depend strongly on the values for the second-...
متن کاملRelativistic Hydrodynamics at RHIC and LHC
Recent development of a hydrodynamic model is discussed by putting an emphasis on realistic treatment of the early and late stages in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The model, which incorporates a hydrodynamic description of the quark-gluon plasma with a kinetic approach of hadron cascades, is applied to analysis of elliptic flow data at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider energy. It is pre...
متن کاملLandau Hydrodynamics and RHIC Phenomena
The basic physical assumptions and results of Landau’s hydrodynamic model of particle production are reviewed. It is argued that these results have sufficient descriptive and predictive power in strong-interaction phenomenology, including recent RHIC data, to warrant a closer examination of the physical assumptions.
متن کاملExtracting the QGP viscosity from RHIC data – a status report from viscous hydrodynamics
We report recent progress on causal viscous hydrodynamics for relativistic heavy ion collisions. For fixed specific shear viscosity η/s, uncertainties in the elliptic flow arising from initial conditions, equation of state, bulk viscosity and numerical viscosity, and the treatment of the highly viscous hadronic stage and freeze-out procedure are analysed. A comparison of current viscous hydrody...
متن کاملDispersive hydrodynamics in viscous fluid conduits.
The evolution of the interface separating a conduit of light, viscous fluid rising buoyantly through a heavy, more viscous, exterior fluid at small Reynolds numbers is governed by the interplay between nonlinearity and dispersion. Previous authors have proposed an approximate model equation based on physical arguments, but a precise theoretical treatment for this two-fluid system with a free bo...
