Description
I will review the present status of dynamical models for the
evolution of relativistic heavy ion collision fireballs based on viscous
relativistic hydrodynamics coupled to a hadron rescattering cascade, and
discuss the extraction of the quark-gluon plasma viscosity from a
comparison of this approach with experimental data. Further improvements
of the modelling that are presently in the pipeline and will eventually
address remaining open issues will also be discussed.
