Thermal Conduction in Systems out of Hydrostatic Equilibrium

arXiv:gr-qc/9704022 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/14/8/022

Abstract

We analyse the effects of thermal conduction in a relativistic fluid, just after its departure from hydrostatic equilibrium, on a time scale of the order of thermal relaxation time. It is obtained that the resulting evolution will critically depend on a parameter defined in terms of thermodynamic variables, which is constrained by causality requirements.
