Projection method for boost-invariant and cylindrically symmetric dissipative hydrodynamics

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

Tensors describing boost-invariant and cylindrically symmetric expansion of a relativistic dissipative fluid are decomposed in a suitable chosen basis of projection operators. This leads to a simple set of scalar equations which determine the fluid behavior. As special examples, we discuss the case of the Israel-Stewart theory and the model of highly-anisotropic and strongly-dissipative hydrodynamics ADHYDRO. We also introduce the matching conditions between the ADHYDRO description suitable for the very early stages of heavy-ion collisions and the Israel-Stewart theory applicable for later stages when the system is close to equilibrium.
