Abstract

The equations governing dissipative relativistic hydrodynamics are formulated within the 3+1 approach. Dissipation is accounted for by applying the theory of extended causal thermodynamics (Israel-Stewart theory). This description eliminates the causality violating infinite signal speeds present in the conventional Navier-Stokes equation.
