Non-boost-invariant motion of dissipative and highly anisotropic fluid

Understand

The recently formulated framework of anisotropic and dissipative hydrodynamics (ADHYDRO) is used to describe non-boost-invariant motion of the fluid created at the early stages of heavy-ion collisions.

• Very strong initial asymmetries of pressure are reduced by the entropy production processes.
• By the appropriate choice of the form of the entropy source we can reproduce realistic scenarios for the isotropization expected in heavy-ion collisions.
• Our previous results are generalized by including the realistic equation of state as the limit of the isotropization processes.
