It is well known that the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in heavy ion collisions can be successfully described by hydrodynamics; successful hydrodynamics requires rapid thermalization with the thermalization time τ0 less than 1 fm/c [1]. Studying the dynamical processes before the formation of the QGP can provide initial conditions for the hydrodynamic simulations. During the hydrodynamic ev...

A complete history of relativistic hydrodynamics is yet to be written. Some partial accounts can be found in [1, 2]. Here, I just want to remember some seminal works which started this field, which might be called hydrodynamics applied to multiparticle production in high energy hadronic collisions. In his pioneering work of 1953 [3] Landau developed several aspects of hydrodynamics and prepaire...
