Title: Nonconformal viscous anisotropic hydrodynamics

Abstract

We generalize the derivation of viscous anisotropic hydrodynamics from kinetic theory to allow for nonzero particle masses. The macroscopic theory is obtained by taking moments of the Boltzmann equation after expanding the distribution function around a spheroidally deformed local momentum distribution whose form has been generalized by the addition of a scalar field that accounts nonperturbatively (i.e., already at leading order) for bulk viscous effects. Hydrodynamic equations for the parameters of the leading-order distribution function and for the residual (next-to-leading order) dissipative flows are obtained from the three lowest moments of the Boltzmann equation. The approach is tested for a system undergoing (0 + 1)-dimensional boost-invariant expansion for which the exact solution of the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation is known. Nonconformal viscous anisotropic hydrodynamics is shown to approximate this exact solution more accurately than any other known hydrodynamic approximation.
