Description

Relativistic hydrodynamics is the covariant generalization of a classical (non-relativistic, non-quantum) model. Recent developments in the field can explain how it is possible for relativistic hydrodynamics to be predictive in a very small system, in which quantum effects like diffraction and discrete (rather than continuous) spin states are not suppressed. This can be particularly surprising, if one considers that the gradients, as well as the non-ideal corrections are large, especially during the initial stages. This is in contrast to the classical requirements for the applicability of viscous hydrodynamics.
