Second-order dissipative fluid dynamics for ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Müller-Israel-Stewart second-order theory of relativistic imperfect fluids based on Grad's moment method is used to study the expansion of hot matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The temperature evolution is investigated in the framework of the Bjorken boost-invariant scaling limit. The results of these second-order theories are compared to those of first-order theories due to Eckart and to Landau and Lifshitz and those of zeroth order (perfect fluid) due to Euler.

Nonequilibrium fluid-dynamics in the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
To describe ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions we construct a three-fluid hydrodynamical model. In contrast to one-fluid hydrodynamics, it accounts for the finite stopping power of nuclear matter, i.e. for nonequilibrium effects in the early stage of the reaction. Within this model, we study baryon dynamics in the BNL-AGS energy range. For the system Au+Au we find that kinetic equilibrium b...
متن کاملCausal Theories of Dissipative Relativistic Fluid Dynamics for Nuclear Collisions
In the early stages of heavy ion collisions, non– equilibrium effects play a dominant role. A complete description of the dynamics of heavy ion reactions needs to include the effects of dissipation through non– equilibrium/dissipative fluid dynamics. As is well–known [1], extended theories (which are hyperbolic and causal) of dissipative fluids due to Grad [2], Müller [3], and Israel and Stewar...

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...
متن کاملDissipation in the very early stage of the hydrodynamic evolution in relativistic heavy ion collisions
We propose a modification of the hydrodynamic model of the dynamics in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions. A modification of the energymomentum tensor at the initial stage describes the lack of isotropization of the pressure. Subsequently, the pressure is relaxing towards the equilibrium isotropic form in the local comoving frame. Within the Bjorken scaling solution a bound is found on the de...
متن کاملDissipative hydrodynamics and heavy ion collisions
Space-time evolution and subsequent particle production from minimally viscous (η/s=0.08) QGP fluid is studied using the 2nd order Israel-Stewart’s theory of dissipative relativistic fluid. Compared to ideal fluid, energy density or temperature evolves slowly in viscous dynamics. Particle yield at high pT is increased. Elliptic flow on the other hand decreases in viscous dynamics. Minimally vis...
