Description
Since the early 2000s the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) has been studied using relativistic heavy-ion collisions at both the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). Detailed comparisons of theoretical predictions with experimental measurements have demonstrated that the QGP acts as a nearly perfect fluid with the smallest shear viscosity to entropy density ratio ever discovered.
Significant developments in the field of relativistic viscous hydrodynamics have revealed new insights into the QGP and its properties. Furthermore, developments of large-scale statistical tools and Bayesian analysis paved the way for new possibilities to examine the system to even higher precision. In this talk, I would like to comment on recent developments in fluid dynamics theory and simulations.
