Description
General aspects of the application of hydrodynamics in theoretical description of heavy-ion collisions are shortly reviewed with the emphasis on the following issues: fluid variables, the form of hydrodynamic expansion, early thermalization vs. early hydrodynamization scenario, the use of the realistic equation of state, incorporation of the phase transition and pre-equilibrium flow, free streaming vs. hydrodynamic expansion, determination of the kinetic coefficients, quark-gluon plasma as a new state of matter with the properties determined by the hydrodynamic approach.
Summary
General aspects of the application of hydrodynamics in theoretical description of heavy-ion collisions are shortly reviewed.
