Steady asymptotic equilibria in conformal relativistic fluids
arXiv:2201.03430 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.105.036013
Abstract
When one considers a shock wave in the frame where the shock is at rest, on either side one has a steady flow which converges to equilibrium away from the shock. However, hydrodynamics is unable to describe this flow if the asymptotic velocity is higher than the characteristic speed of the theory. We obtain an exact solution for the decay rate to equilibrium for a conformal fluid in kinetic theory under the relaxation time approximation, and compare it to two hydrodynamic schemes, one accounting for the second moments of the distribution function and thus equivalent, in the small deviations from equilibrium limit, to an Israel-Stewart framework, and another accounting for both second and third moments. While still having a finite characteristic speed, the second model is a significant improvement on the first.
