Abstract

We use the dissipative type theory (DTT) framework to solve for the evolution of conformal fluids in Bjorken and Gubser flows from isotropic initial conditions. The results compare well with both exact and other hydrodynamic solutions in the literature. At the same time, DTTs enforce the Second Law of thermodynamics as an exact property of the formalism, at any order in deviations from equilibrium, and are easily generalizable to more complex situations.
