Abstract

Here we develop a set of kinetic equations for hydrodynamic fluctuations which are equivalent to nonlinear hydrodynamics with noise. The hydro-kinetic equations can be coupled to existing second order hydrodynamic codes to incorporate the physics of these fluctuations, which become dominant near the critical point. We use the hydro-kinetic equations to calculate the modifications of energy momentum tensor by thermal fluctuations from the earliest moments and at late times in Bjorken expansion. The solution to the kinetic equations precisely determines the coefficient of the first fractional power (∝ τ^-3/2) in the energy momentum tensor gradient expansion. Numerically, we find that the contribution to the longitudinal pressure from hydrodynamic fluctuations is comparable to the second order hydrodynamic terms for typical medium parameters used to simulate heavy ion collisions.

Stochastic hydrodynamics and long time tails of an expanding conformal charged fluid

Journal Article Martinez, M. ; Schäfer, T. - Physical Review C

We investigate the impact of hydrodynamic fluctuations on correlation functions in a scale invariant fluid with a conserved U(1) charge. The kinetic equations for the two-point functions of pressure, momentum, and heat energy densities are derived within the framework of stochastic hydrodynamics. The leading nonanalytic contributions to the energy-momentum tensor as well as the U(1) current are determined from the solutions to these kinetic equations. In the case of a static homogeneous background we show that the long time tails obtained from hydrokinetic equations reproduce the one-loop results derived from statistical field theory. We use these results to establish boundsmore »« less

Higher order and anisotropic hydrodynamics for Bjorken and Gubser flows

Journal Article Chattopadhyay, Chandrodoy ; Heinz, Ulrich ; Pal, Subrata ; ... - Physical Review C

We study the evolution of hydrodynamic and nonhydrodynamic moments of the distribution function using anisotropic and third-order Chapman-Enskog hydrodynamics for systems undergoing Bjorken and Gubser flows. The hydrodynamic results are compared with the exact solution of the Boltzmann equation with a collision term in relaxation time approximation. While the evolution of the hydrodynamic moments of the distribution function (i.e., of the energy momentum tensor) can be described with high accuracy by both hydrodynamic approximation schemes, their description of the evolution of the entropy of the system is much less precise. We attribute this to large contributions from nonhydrodynamic modes couplingmore »« less

Effective kinetic description of event-by-event pre-equilibrium dynamics in high-energy heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Kurkela, Aleksi ; Mazeliauskas, Aleksas ; Paquet, Jean-François ; ... - Physical Review C

We develop a macroscopic description of the space-time evolution of the energy-momentum tensor during the pre-equilibrium stage of a high-energy heavy-ion collision. Based on a weak coupling effective kinetic description of the microscopic equilibration process (à la “bottom-up”), we calculate the nonequilibrium evolution of the local background energy-momentum tensor as well as the nonequilibrium linear response to transverse energy and momentum perturbations for realistic boost-invariant initial conditions for heavy-ion collisions. We demonstrate how this framework can be used on an event-by-event basis to propagate the energy-momentum tensor from far-from-equilibrium initial-state models to the time τ hydro when the system ismore »« less
