Bulk Viscosity of Interacting Hadrons

Abstract: We show that first approximations to the bulk viscosity $\eta_v$ are expressible in terms of factors that depend on the sound speed $v_s$, the enthalpy, and the interaction (elastic and inelastic) cross section. The explicit dependence of $\eta_v$ on the factor $(\frac 13 - v_s^2)$ is demonstrated in the Chapman-Enskog approximation as well as the variational and relaxation time approaches. The interesting feature of bulk viscosity is that the dominant contributions at a given temperature arise from particles … Show more

“…However, for T → T + c , the specific bulk viscosity increases sharply following the behaviour of τ . Similarly, for T → T − c in the confined phase, a monotonic increase of ζ/s was found in different model calculations [118,[129][130][131]. Both observations together suggest that for strongly interacting matter the ratio ζ/s develops a maximum in the vicinity of T c [55][56][57][58].…”

“…small value of shear viscosity to entropy density ratio (η/s), which is in accordance with the Kovtun-Son-Starinet (KSS) bound of (η/s) = 1/(4π) obtained using gauge gravity duality (AdS/CFT correspondence), can explain the flow data [1,6,7]. It may be emphasized that QCD is not conformal in nature and the deviation of the conformality is encoded in the bulk viscosity ζ of the strongly interacting medium [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Similar to the shear viscosity, bulk viscosity also plays a very impor-tant role in the viscous hydrodynamic description of the QCD medium [17][18][19][20].…”

“…So one would expect to observe similar peak in ζ/s at T c as well. Indeed rise of bulk viscosity near T c has been observed in various effective models [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
