Magneto-Vortical evolution of QGP in heavy ion collisions
Abstract
The interplay of magnetic field and thermal vorticity in a relativistic ideal fluid might generate fluid vorticity during the fluid evolution provided the flow fields and the entropy density of the fluid is inhomogeneous \cite{Mahajan:2010}. Exploiting this fact and assuming large magnetic Reynolds number we study the evolution of generalised magnetic field () which is defined as a combination of the usual magnetic field () and relativistic thermal vorticity (), in a 2(space)+1(time) dimensional isentropic evolution of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) with longitudinal boost invariance. The temporal evolution of is found to be different than , and the evolution also depends on the position of the fluid along the beam direction (taken along the z axis) with respect to the mid-plane . Further it is observed that the transverse components (, ) evolve differently around the mid-plane.
