Numerical tests of causal relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics

چکیده
We present numerical methods to solve the Israel– Stewart (IS) equations of causal relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics with bulk and shear viscosities. We then test these methods studying the Riemann problem in (1+ 1)and (2+ 1)-dimensional geometry. The numerical schemes investigated here are applicable to realistic (3 + 1)-dimensional modeling of a relativistic dissipative fluid. PACS 24.10.Nz · 25.75.-q · 47.11.-j · 47.75.+f

Subluminality and damping of plane waves in causal dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics
In this paper and its companion [2], the authors introduce a causal hyperbolic modification of the Eckart-Landau-Weinberg dissipation tensor, for the dynamics of collision-dominated radiation. The resulting system of partial differential equations for relativistic fluid dynamics is shown to exclusively admit subluminal, decaying modes for any finite wavelength. This validates the new relativist...
متن کاملRelativistic Dynamics of Non-ideal Fluids: Viscous and heat-conducting fluids II. Transport properties and microscopic description of relativistic nuclear matter
Abstract In the causal theory of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics, there are conditions on the equation of state and other thermodynamic properties such as the second-order coefficients of a fluid that need to be satisfied to guarantee that the fluid perturbations propagate causally and obey hyperbolic equations. The second-order coefficients in the causal theory, which are the relaxatio...
متن کاملA ug 1 99 5 The Relaxation Effect in Dissipative Relativistic Fluid Theories
The dynamics of the fluid fields in a large class of causal dissipative fluid theories is studied. It is shown that the physical fluid states in these theories must relax (on a time scale that is characteristic of the microscopic particle interactions) to ones that are essentially indistinguishable from the simple rel-ativistic Navier-Stokes descriptions of these states. Thus, for example, in t...

Non-ideal fluid dynamics with cylindrical symmetry in transverse direction and longitudinal scaling flow is employed to simulate the space-time evolution of the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC energies. The dynamical expansion is studied as a function of initial energy density and initial time. A causal theory of dissipative fluid dynamics is used instead of the stan...
