We calculate the shear viscosity, $\eta$, in two limits: perturbative QCD and an excluded-volume hadron resonance gas (HRG), at finite BSQ densities. Using an interpolation framework, we connect these regimes. In addition, we present…

Hydrodynamics predicts long-lived sound and shear waves. Thermal fluctuations in these waves can lead to the diffusion of momentum density, contributing to the shear viscosity and other transport coefficients. Within viscous hydrodynamics…
We compute the shear viscosity of QCD with matter, including almost all next-to-leading order corrections -- that is, corrections suppressed by one power of $g$ relative to leading order. We argue that the still missing terms are small. The…
