Causality, memory effect and relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics

Abstract

We discuss the minimal structure of relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics which satisfies the covariance and causality by introducing the memory effect in irreversible currents.

“…Koide [24] and Wolschin [25] presented the state of the art for attempts to include the effect of viscosity into relativistic hydrodynamics. This causes problems with either negative entropy productions or with causality.…”
