We consider hydrodynamics with non conserved number of particles and show that it can be modeled with effective fluid Lagrangians which explicitly depend on the velocity potentials. For such theories, the {}``shift symetry''…
We solve the relativistic Riemann problem in viscous matter using the relativistic Boltzmann equation and the relativistic causal dissipative fluid-dynamical approach of Israel and Stewart. Comparisons between these two approaches clarify…

Kinetic theory offers a promising alternative to conventional turbulence modelling by providing a mesoscopic perspective that naturally captures non-equilibrium physics such as non-Newtonian effects. In this work, we present an extension…
