Abstract
We investigate hydrodynamic effects on the spin polarization of hyperons in Au+Au collisions at GeV and p+Pb collisions at TeV using the CLVisc hydrodynamic framework. We present numerical results for the second Fourier sine coefficient of the longitudinal spin polarization, , as a function of multiplicity (centrality) under three equilibrium scenarios: equilibrium, -quark equilibrium, and isothermal equilibrium. We highlight the respective roles of thermal vorticity and the thermal-shear tensor in generating across collision systems and scenarios.
