Recent discussions of RHIC data emphasized the exciting possibility that the
matter produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions shows properties of a near-perfect
fluid. In this talk, I discuss the equations for viscous fluid dynamics. My focus
is on possible phenomenological consequences of viscous effects.
