Abstract
In this contribution we summarize recent results on the transport properties of strongly correlated dilute Fermi gases. We discuss the hydrodynamic equations in the normal phase and present new results on the structure of second order terms in the gradient expansion. We also discuss predictions from kinetic theory, and show how these predictions can be tested using experimental data on elliptic flow. We summarize current constraints on the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio .
