Title: Universal hydrodynamic flow in holographic planar shock collisions

Abstract

We study the collision of planar shock waves in AdS₅ as a function of shock profile. In the dual field theory the shock waves describe planar sheets of energy whose collision results in the formation of a plasma which behaves hydrodynamically at late times. We find that the post-collision stress tensor near the light cone exhibits transient non-universal behavior which depends on both the shock width and the precise functional form of the shock profile. However, over a large range of shock widths, including those which yield qualitative different behavior near the future light cone, and for different shock profiles, we find universal behavior in the subsequent hydrodynamic evolution. In addition, we compute the rapidity distribution of produced particles and find it to be well described by a Gaussian.

Coupling Constant Corrections in a Holographic Model of Heavy Ion Collisions

Journal Article Grozdanov, Sašo ; van der Schee, Wilke - Physical Review Letters

We initiate a holographic study of coupling-dependent heavy ion collisions by analyzing, for the first time, the effects of leading-order, inverse coupling constant corrections. In the dual description, this amounts to colliding gravitational shock waves in a theory with curvature-squared terms. Here, we find that, at intermediate coupling, nuclei experience less stopping and have more energy deposited near the light cone. When the decreased coupling results in an 80% larger shear viscosity, the time at which hydrodynamics becomes a good description of the plasma created from high energy collisions increases by 25%. The hydrodynamic phase of the evolution starts withmore »« less

THE STABILITY OF PLANAR HYDRODYNAMIC SHOCK WAVES--A PILOT INVESTIGATION FOR THE MAGNETO-HYDRODYNAMIC SHOCK STABILITY PROBLEM. Chap.. 11 of THEORETICAL STUDY OF HYDROMAGNETIC STABILITY AND TURBULENCE. INVESTIGATIONS AND DETAILED RESULTS. Annual Report, Period: January 1-December 31, 1961

Technical Report Kruskal, M

The stability of a planar hydrodynamic shock is investigated. The fluid on each side of the shock is taken to be an ideal fluid satisfying the adiabatic equation of state with a ratio of specific heats greater than unity. The standard non-relativistic shock conditions are used. In the unperturbed fluid state a frame of reference moving with the shock velocity is chosen. This can be accomplished because the system is Galilean invariant. The unperturbed flows are taken to be space and time independent so that the stability problem can be developed by means of a Fourier awlysis. By applying first-ordermore »« less
NON-RELATIVISTIC RADIATION-MEDIATED SHOCK BREAKOUTS. I. EXACT BOLOMETRIC PLANAR BREAKOUT SOLUTIONS

Journal Article Sapir, Nir ; Waxman, Eli ; Katz, Boaz - Astrophysical Journal

The problem of a non-steady planar radiation-mediated shock (RMS) breaking out from a surface with a power-law density profile, {rho}{proportional_to}x{sup n} , is numerically solved in the approximation of diffusion with constant opacity. For an appropriate choice of time, length, and energy scales, determined by the breakout opacity, velocity, and density, the solution is universal, i.e., depends only on the density power-law index n. The resulting luminosity depends weakly on the value of n. An approximate analytic solution, based on the self-similar hydrodynamic solutions and on the steady RMS solutions, is constructed and shown to agree with the numerical solutionsmore »« less

Early hydrodynamic evolution of a stellar collision

Journal Article Kushnir, Doron ; Katz, Boaz - Astrophysical Journal

The early phase of the hydrodynamic evolution following the collision of two stars is analyzed. Two strong shocks propagate from the contact surface and move toward the center of each star at a velocity that is a small fraction of the velocity of the approaching stars. The shocked region near the contact surface has a planar symmetry and a uniform pressure. The density vanishes at the (Lagrangian) surface of contact, and the speed of sound diverges there. The temperature, however, reaches a finite value, since as the density vanishes, the finite pressure is radiation dominated. For carbon-oxygen white dwarf (COmore »« less

Jet wake from linearized hydrodynamics

Journal Article Casalderrey-Solana, Jorge ; Milhano, José Guilherme ; Pablos, Daniel ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We explore how to improve the hybrid model description of the particles originating from the wake that a jet produced in a heavy ion collision leaves in the droplet of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) through which it propagates, using linearized hydrodynamics on a background Bjorken flow. Jet energy and momentum loss described by the hybrid model become currents sourcing linearized hydrodynamics. By solving the linearized hydrodynamic equations numerically, we investigate the development of the wake in the dynamically evolving droplet of QGP, study the effect of viscosity, scrutinize energy-momentum conservation, and check the validity of the linear approximation. We find thatmore »« less
