Introduction to Hydrodynamics and Transport Coefficients
Sangyong Jeon (McGill University)

Abstract:
Relativistic hydrodynamics is an extremely useful tool in relativistic heavy ion collisions
as well as astrophysics. In this lecture, I will discuss relativistic hydrodynamics in some depth
including the field theoretical calculation of transport coefficients (the shear and bulk viscosities,
diffusion constants, ...).

 

The topics 
1. Stress-energy tensor and energy-momentum conservation
2. Most general form of relativistic hydrodynamics
3. Concept of Local Equilibrium
4. Ideal fluid vs dissipative fluid
5. Understanding viscosities
6. Linear response theory of the stress-energy tensor and Kubo formulae
7. Quantum field theoretical calculation of transport coefficients

In addition, if time permits,
8. Connection to kinetic theory
9. Application to RHIC and the LHC heavy ion program
