Hydrodynamic Description of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
arXiv:2412.19393
Abstract
We review the history and success of applying relativistic hydrodynamics to high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We emphasize the important role hydrodynamics has played in the discovery of the quark-gluon plasma and its quantitative exploration.
