Abstract

Nonequilibrium fluid dynamics derived from the extended irreversible thermodynamics of the causal M\"uller-Israel-Stewart theory of dissipative processes in relativistic fluids based on Grad's moment method is applied to the study of the dynamics of hot matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The temperature, energy density, and entropy evolution are 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. In the presence of dissipation perfect fluid dynamics is no longer valid in describing the evolution of the matter. First order theories fail in the early stages of evolution. Second order theories give a better description in good agreement with transport models. It is shown in which region the Navier-Stokes-Fourier laws (first order theories) are a reasonable limiting case of the more general extended thermodynamics (second order theories).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
