Relativistic fluid dynamics of spin-polarized systems of particles

Abstract

We review basic ingredients of the recently introduced perfect-fluid hydrodynamic equations for particles with spin one-half. For a quasi-realistic setup, first numerical solutions for various hydrodynamic variables including the spin polarization tensor are presented. Our results indicate that the initial spin polarization of the hottest region may play a dominant role in the polarization of particles at freeze-out.
