Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

We present a concise review of the recent development of relativistic hydrodynamics and its
applications to heavy-ion collisions. Theoretical progress on the extended formulation of …

Whether, how, and to what extent solutions of Bjorken-expanding systems become
insensitive to aspects of their initial conditions is of importance for heavy-ion collisions. Here …

We show that the widely used relaxation time approximation to the relativistic Boltzmann
equation contains basic flaws, being incompatible with micro-and macroscopic conservation …

A review of the recent progress of relativistic hydrodynamic attractors is presented, with a
focus on applications in heavy ion collisions and the quark gluon plasma. Pedagogical …

New constraints are found that must necessarily hold for Israel-Stewart-like theories of fluid
dynamics to be causal far away from equilibrium. Conditions that are sufficient to ensure …

One of the many physical questions that have emerged from studies of heavy-ion collisions
at RHIC and the LHC concerns the validity of hydrodynamic modelling at the very early …

We study the dissipative evolution of (0+ 1)-dimensionally expanding media with Bjorken
symmetry using the Boltzmann equation for massive particles in relaxation-time …

Using and comparing kinetic theory and second-order Chapman-Enskog hydrodynamics,
we study the nonconformal dynamics of a system undergoing Bjorken expansion. We use …

We exploit the concept of hydrodynamic attractors to establish a macroscopic description of
the early time out-of-equilibrium dynamics of high energy heavy-ion collisions. One direct …
