Abstract

In this article, we briefly review recent progress on hydrodynamic modelling and its implementations to relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. The related topics include: (1) initial-state fluctuations, final-state correlations and event-by-event hydrodynamics, (2) extracting the QGP shear viscosity from flow data, (3) flow and hydrodynamics in p + Pb collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN}}=5.02 \ \text {TeV}\).

For very early fluid expansion, one needs to implement anisotropic viscous hydrodynamics using a reorganized formalism to incorporate the large momentum anisotropy. Recent developments can be found in [50–52].

  68. U Heinz, C Shen and H Song, AIP Conf. Proc. 1441, 766 (2012) [68a] The multipions to baryon–antibaryon channels (\(n \pi \rightarrow B \bar {B}\)) are not included in UrQMD, which breaks the detailed balance for an equilibrated system. For a realistic hadronic expansion from VISHNU, the system quickly cools down and evolves out-off equilibrium, suppressing the effects from \(n \pi \rightarrow B \bar {B}\) [69].
