HYDRODYNAMIC MODELING OF HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS

We review progress in the hydrodynamic description of heavy-ion collisions, focusing on recent developments in modeling the fluctuating initial state and event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic simulations. We discuss how hydrodynamics can be used to extract information on fundamental properties of quantum chromodynamics from experimental data, and review successes and challenges of the hydrodynamic framework.

我们回顾了重离子碰撞流体动力学描述方面的进展，重点关注在对起伏的初始状态进行建模以及逐事件粘性流体动力学模拟等方面的最新发展。我们探讨了如何利用流体动力学从实验数据中提取量子色动力学基本性质的相关信息，并回顾了流体动力学框架所取得的成功以及面临的挑战。
