Course description and aims
The quark gluon plasma (QGP) is known as primordial deconfined nuclear matter occupied in the early universe ~10 microsecond after the Big Bang. The QGP can be created in high-energy nuclear collisions and found to behave as an almost perfect fluid. In this lecture, a framework of relativistic hydrodynamics is reviewed aiming at description of space-time evolution of the QGP in high-energy nuclear collisions. The topics include: conservation law, definition of frames, ideal and viscous hydrodynamics.
Student learning outcomes
The purpose of this lecture is to learn basic aspects of high-energy nuclear collisions and relativistic hydrodynamics.
Keywords
