Abstract

We investigate the shear viscosity η\eta and the entropy density ss of strongly coupled N=4\mathcal{N}=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) plasma in late time of hydrodynamic evolution with AdS/CFT duality and Bjorken scaling. We use correlation function method proposed by Kovtun, Son and Starinets. We obtain the metric gμνg_{\mu\nu} in a proper time dependent AdS5AdS_{5} space through holographic renormalization, whose boundary condition is given by energy-momentum tensor of the plasma in 2+1 dimension with transverse expansion or radial flow. With the metric we compute η\eta and ss of fluids in 1+1 and 2+1 dimension without and with radial flow. We find the ratio η/s=1/(4π)\eta/s=1/(4\pi) in 1+1 dimension consistent with the Kovtun-Son-Starinets bound if next-to-leading terms in proper time are included in the equation of motion for metric perturbations. For 2+1 dimension the result is unchanged in the leading order of transverse rapidity.
