The success of relativistic hydrodynamics as an essential part of the phenomenological
description of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC has motivated a significant body of …

Technological advances in controlling and manipulating fluids have enabled the
experimental realization of acoustic analogues of gravitational black holes. A flowing fluid …

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent
universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal …

Black branes in AdS 5 appear in a four parameter family labeled by their velocity and
temperature. Promoting these parameters to Goldstone modes or collective coordinate fields …

We consider second-order viscous hydrodynamics in conformal field theories at finite
temperature. We show that conformal invariance imposes powerful constraints on the form of …

Starting with a brief introduction into the basics of relativistic fluid dynamics, I discuss our
current knowledge of a relativistic theory of fluid dynamics in the presence of (mostly shear) …

We construct electrically charged AdS 5 black hole solutions whose charge, mass and boost-
parameters vary slowly with the space-time coordinates. From the perspective of the dual …

We extend the recent work on fluid-gravity correspondence to charged black-branes by
determining the metric duals to arbitrary charged fluid configuration up to second order in …

The wide applications of higher dimensional gravity and gauge/gravity duality have fuelled
the search for new stationary solutions of the Einstein equation (possibly coupled to matter) …

We report on the approach toward the hydrodynamic regime of boost-invariant N= 4 super
Yang-Mills plasma at strong coupling starting from various far-from-equilibrium states at τ= 0 …
