Abstract
We study the role of viscosity in the early stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We investigate the role of viscosity on the chemical equilibration of a parton gas. In the presence of viscosity the lifetime of the system is increased. The temperature as well as the parton fugacities evolve more slowly compared to the ideal fluid dynamics.
