abstract

Starting from Boltzmann equation with relaxation time approximation for the collision term and using Chapman-Enskog like expansion for distribution function close to equilibrium, we derive hydrodynamic evolution equations for the dissipative quantities directly from their definition. Although the form of the equations is identical to those obtained in traditional Israel-Stewart approaches employing Grad's 14-moment approximation and second moment of Boltzmann equation, the coefficients obtained are different. In the case of one-dimensional scaling expansion, we demonstrate that our results are in better agreement with numerical solution of Boltzmann equation as compared to Israel-Stewart results. We also show that including approximate higher-order corrections in viscous evolution significantly improves this agreement, thus justifying the relaxation time approximation for the collision term.

(3+1)D event-by-event pre-equilibrium dynamics in heavy-ion collisions

hep-ph · 2025-12-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Extension of KoMPoST to (3+1)D non-boost-invariant pre-equilibrium dynamics via kinetic theory response functions, chained into a full McDIPPER+KoMPoST-3D+CLVisc+SMASH simulation chain to study sensitivity of longitudinal flow to hydrodynamic start time.

Validity of relativistic hydrodynamics beyond local equilibrium

nucl-th · 2025-08-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Formal solutions of Boltzmann moment equations demonstrate that relativistic hydrodynamics works far from equilibrium because non-perturbative modes and modified transport coefficients enable interpolation between free streaming and hydrodynamic regimes.
