“…A realistic treatment of the reaction therefore requires full solutions of relativistic fluid dynamics in three dimensions. Such solutions have recently become available, including hadronic cascade treatments of the break-up phase (170,216,217). An important missing aspect of these solutions is the presence of a physical viscosity.…”

We describe the current status of the heavy ion research program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The new suite of experiments and the collider energies have opened up new probes of the medium created in the collisions. Our review focuses on the experimental discoveries to date at RHIC and their interpretation in the light of our present theoretical understanding of the dynamics of relativistic heavy ion collisions and of the structure of strongly interacting matter at high energy density.

“…The observation of strong collective transverse and elliptic flows is an indication that the system behaves as a fluid. To model the dynamics of such a system relativistic hydrodynamics of a perfect fluid has been successfully applied [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The fireball expands and cools down, until some freeze-out temperature is reached, after which particles are emitted from a freeze-out hypersurface.…”

We study the effects of shear and bulk viscosities in the hadronic phase on the expansion of the fireball and on the particle production in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Comparing simulation with or without viscosity in the hadronic matter we find that elliptic flow observables strongly dependent on dissipative effects in the late stage. On the other hand, interferometry radii are sensitive, through the early transverse flow, on the value of the viscosity at high temperatures. We present first calculations including the effects of bulk viscosity in the hadronic phase and in the hadron emission. We find them important in obtaining a small freeze-out temperature consistent with the measured transverse momentum spectra and elliptic flow of identified particles.

“…Relativistic hydrodynamics is very well suited for the description of the collective phase of the fireball expansion [14,16,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. Assuming local thermal equilibration, perfect fluid hydrodynamics can be used.…”

“…Existing experimental data outside of the central rapidity region on particle multiplicity and elliptic flow show that at RHIC energies the Bjorken boost-invariance is not realized. Calculations exist for the general 3 + 1D geometry of the collision [14,27,28,31,36]. They show that relativistic hydrodynamics can be applied for a broad range of rapidities in central and semiperipheral collisions.…”

Hydrodynamic expansion of the hot fireball created in relativistic Au-Au collisions at √ s = 200GeV in 3 + 1-dimensions is studied. We obtain a simultaneous, satisfactory description of the transverse momentum spectra, elliptic flow and pion correlation radii for different collision centralities and different rapidities. Early initial time of the evolution is required to reproduce the interferometry data, which provides a strong indication of the early onset of collectivity. We can also constraint the shape of the initial energy density in the beam direction, with a relatively high initial energy density at the center of the fireball.
