Excellent- More about Microscopic Foundations of Relativistic Fluid Dynamics
This book provides an introduction to relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics,deriving it from microscopic transport theory and discussing intrinsic instabilities and analytical solutions. It is intended for advanced graduate students and researchers in physics and applies to cosmology,astrophysics,and high-energy nuclear physics.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 292 pages
Publication date: 22 March 2022
Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG
This comprehensive book offers an in-depth exploration of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics, focusing on its derivation from microscopic transport theory. After phenomenologically establishing relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics from the second law of thermodynamics, the authors delve into the intrinsic instabilities of relativistic Navier-Stokes theory. Subsequently, they present analytical solutions for this complex field. The book then discusses various theories and approaches employed to derive transport coefficients in dissipative fluid dynamics, including the Chapman-Enskog theory, the theory of Israel and Stewart, and a more recent derivation based on kinetic theory. This latter part constitutes the central focus of the book. Designed for advanced graduate students and researchers in physics, this text assumes a foundational understanding of the theory of special and general relativity. It holds particular appeal to scholars engaged in the application of relativistic fluid dynamics in cosmology, astrophysics, and high-energy nuclear physics.
