Dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics is not always causal and can favor superluminal signal propagation under certain circumstances. On the other hand, high-energy nuclear collisions have a microscopic description in terms of QCD and are expected to follow the causality principle of special relativity. We discuss under which conditions the fluid evolutions for a radial expansion are hyperbolic and how the properties of the solutions are encoded in the associated characteristic curves. The expansion dynamics is causal in relativistic sense if the characteristic velocities are smaller than the speed of light. We obtain a concrete inequality from this constraint and discuss how it can be violated for certain initial conditions. We argue that causality poses a bound to the applicability of relativistic fluid dynamics. }

Necessary and sufficient conditions of nonlinear causality in viscous anisotropic hydrodynamics
The leading-order VAH equations stay causal exactly when the three dimensionless ratios in Eq. (21) satisfy the stated chain inequalities.

Out-of-equilibrium contributions to charm hadrons in a fluid-dynamic approach
Out-of-equilibrium corrections at initialization and freeze-out make computed charm-hadron yields independent of the charm diffusion coefficient and define the reliable transverse-momentum range.

Magnetic fields in heavy ion collisions: flow and charge transport
Ideal MHD simulations of heavy-ion collisions find that a chiral magnetic field encoded in the initial conditions is transported by the expanding plasma into a late-time electric charge dipole perpendicular to the rea...

Constraint on initial conditions of one-dimensional expanding fluids from nonlinear causality
Nonlinear causality constrains one-dimensional Bjorken-expanding viscous fluids to small inverse Reynolds numbers, giving minimum initial times of about 0.5 to 1 fm and maximum initial energy densities of about 5 to 3...
