From kinetic theory to dissipative fluid dynamics

Published 8 Dec 2008 in nucl-th | (0812.1440v1)

Abstract: We present the results of deriving the Israel-Stewart equations of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics from kinetic theory via Grad's 14-moment expansion. Working consistently to second order in the Knudsen number, these equations contain several new terms which are absent in previous treatments.
