(Relativistic) Fluids described by: Fluid velocity: uµ Pressure: p (Energy-) Density: ǫ (General Relativity): space-time metric gµν Quantum Field Theory: Energy-Momentum Tensor T µν Conservation of Energy+Momentum: ∂µT µν = 0.

T µν symmetric tensor of rank two building blocks for ideal fluids: scalars ǫ, p, vector uµ, tensors of rank two: uµuν, gµν T µν must be of form T µν = A(ǫ, p)uµuν + B(ǫ, p)gµν Local rest frame (vanishing fluid velocity, uµ = (1, 0, 0, 0)): T µν = ǫ −p −p −p Can use to determine A, B !

Take ∂µT µi = 0, take non-relativistic limit (neglect u2/c2 ≪ 1, p ≪ mc2): ∂tui + um∂mui = −1 ǫ ∂jδijp
“Euler Equation” [L. Euler, 1755]
Euler Equation: non-linear, non-dissipative: “ideal fluid dynamics” Take ∂µT µ0 = 0, take non-relativistic limit (neglect u/c ≪ 1, p ≪ mc2): ǫ∂iui + ∂tǫ + ui∂iǫ = 0

Paul Romatschke Hydro/HIC
How to include viscous effects? Energy and Momentum Conservation: ∂µT µν = 0 is exact But T µν = T µν
id is approximation!
Lift approximation: T µν = T µν
id + Πµν
Build Πµν: e.g. first order gradients on ǫ, uµ, gµν Πµν = η∇<µuν> + ζ∆µν∇ · u

T µν: fluid dofs (ǫ, p, uµ, gµν), no gradients gives Ideal Hydrodynamics T µν: fluid dofs (ǫ, p, uµ, gµν) up to 1st order gradients gives Navier-Stokes equation T µν: fluid dofs (ǫ, p, uµ, gµν) up to 2nd, 3rd, ... order: higher

Remember T µν = T µν
id + Πµν
Πµν is given by small gradient expansion Πµν = η∇<µuν> + . . . Hydrodynamics breaks down if gradient expansion breaks down: Π ∼ T µν
id or
p ≃ η∇ · u Two possible ways: η large (hadron gas!) or ∇ · u large (early times, small systems!)
Paul Romatschke Hydro/HIC
What you should remember: Hydrodynamics is Energy Momentum Conservation Hydrodynamics is an Effective Theory for long wavelength (small momenta) Hydrodynamics breaks down for small systems or dilute systems

Need initial conditions for Hydro: ǫ, uµ at τ = τ0 Need equation of state p = p(ǫ), which gives c2
s = dp dǫ
Need functions for transport coefficients η, ζ. Need algorithm to solve (nonlinear!) hydro equations Need method to convert hydro information to particles (“freeze-out”)

IC’s for hydro not known. Here are some popular choices: Fluid velocities are set to zero Boost-invariance: all hydro quantities only depend on proper time τ = √ t2 − z2 and transverse space x⊥. Models for energy density distribution: Glauber/Color-Glass-Condensate Starting time τ0: Should be of order 1 fm, precise value unknown

Partial solution exists: “Cooper-Frye” Idea: T µν for particles/fluid must be the same T µν
hydro = (ǫ+p)uµuν−Pgµν+Πµν = T µν particles =
f(x, p)pµpν No dissipation (ideal hydro) = equilibrium: f(p, x) = e−p·u/T Only shear dissipation: Quadratic ansatz f(p, x) = e−p·u/T

How does system get T µν that is close to hydro? Far from equilibration dynamics: non-perturbative, real-time: hard! Attempts to thermalization: pQCD inspired (’plasma instabilities’); AdS/CFT inspired (’collision of shock waves’)
Paul Romatschke Hydro/HIC
Dynamics: anything less than 2+1D is not realistic (’Bjorken hydro’) Ideal hydro does not indicate its own breakdown. Does not mean results are accurate! Keep in mind that ideal hydro only exists with numerical viscosity (value?) All working 2+1D viscous hydro codes are ’second order hydro’ Different names (’Israel-Stewart’, ’full IS’, ’BRSSS’) correspond to different choices for values of τπ, . . .
Paul Romatschke Hydro/HIC
A new theorists calculation/model should first be rigorously studied before ’fitting’ data Example: hydrodynamic calculations on a grid; physical results correspond to limit of vanishing grid spacing Theorists: Please first check your model/calculation before you compare to experimental data Experimentalists: Please don’t blindly trust (or promote!) a model just because it fits data
