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…
One of the most striking results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is the strong elliptic flow. This review summarizes what is observed and how these results are combined with reasonable theoretical assumptions to estimate the shear…
We give a new description to obtain the shear viscosity in QCD at finite temperature. Firstly, we obtain the correlation function of the renormalized energy-momentum tensor using the gradient flow method. Secondly, we estimate the spectral…
The shear viscosity of QED plasma at finite temperature and density is calculated by solving Boltzmann equation with variational approach. The result shows the small chemical potential enhances the viscosity in leading-log order by adding a…
Despite the viscosity of a fluid ranges over several orders of magnitudes and is extremely sensitive to microscopic structure and molecular interactions, it has been conjectured that its (opportunely normalized) minimum displays a universal…
The shear viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) plays a crucial role in interpreting current measurements from heavy-ion collisions and is a key input to hydro-dynamical models. The interest in shear viscosity also lies in the fact that…
We examine the linear stability of fluid interfaces subjected to a shear flow. Our main object is to generalize previous work to arbitrary Atwood number, and to allow for surface tension and weak compressibility. The motivation derives from…
Transport properties of dense fluids are fundamentally challenging, because the powerful approaches of equilibrium statistical physics cannot be applied. Polar fluids compound this problem, because the long-range interactions preclude the…
I give a physical explanation of what shear viscosity is, and what physics determines its value. Then I explain why determining the shear viscosity of the Quark-Gluon Plasma is interesting. I outline the leading-order calculation of the QGP…
Shear viscosity measures the amount of internal friction in a simple fluid. In kinetic theory shear viscosity is related to momentum transport by quasi-particles, and the uncertainty relation implies that the ratio of shear viscosity eta to…
I review the recent progress made in calculating shear and bulk viscosity on the lattice, and discuss ways to improve the calculation.
Shear viscosity is a crucial property of QCD matter which determines the collective behavior of the the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Extending the near-equilibrium, high-precision investigations in…
The results of modeling shear flows in classical two-dimensional dipole systems are presented. We used the method of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics to calculate the viscosity at various shear rates. The coefficients of shear viscosity…
Accurately describing liquids and their mixtures beyond equilibrium remains a significant challenge in modern chemical physics and physical chemistry, especially regarding the calculation of transport properties in liquid-phase systems.…
The relation of the shear viscosity coefficient to the recently introduced transport rate is derived within relativistic kinetic theory. We calculate the shear viscosity over entropy ratio \eta/s for a gluon gas, which involves elastic gg->…
We study two types of intrinsic uncertainties, statistical errors and system size effects, in estimating shear viscosity via equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and compare them with the corresponding uncertainties in evaluating the…
Through model-to-data comparisons from heavy-ion collisions, it has been shown that the Quark Gluon Plasma has an extremely small shear viscosity at vanishing densities. At large baryon densities, significantly less is known about the…
In the dynamics of the QCD critical point, the net-baryon fluid, linked to the slow component of the order parameter, relaxes to a 3d Ising system in equilibrium. An analytical study of shear and bulk viscosity, with constraints imposed by…
We calculate shear viscosity and bulk viscosity in SU(3) gauge theory on the lattice at $1.5 \,T_c$. The viscosities are extracted via a Kubo formula from the reconstructed spectral function which we determine from the Euclidean-time…
The shear viscosity of a two-dimensional (2D) liquid was calculated using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with a Yukawa potential. The shear viscosity has a minimum, at a Coulomb coupling parameter of about 17, arising from the…
