An ancient philosopher pointed out some time ago that "everything flows". In Physics, things which flow are described by fluid dynamics, a collection of equations governing the flow in a precise mathematical sense. Many different physical systems may flow in the same way, as determined by the symmetry of their microscopic constituents. Several years ago, it was understood that black holes may also flow, in exactly the same way liquids do. Thus the study of fluid dynamics translates to the study of black hole dynamics, and vice versa. The liquids relevant to this black-hole/fluid correspondence are highly quantum-mechanical, and seem to flow in virtually the same way as the quark-gluon plasma created at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Brookhaven, and at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This connection between black holes and quantum liquids combined with the renewed interest in relativistic hydrodynamics due the experimental heavy-ion program has recently led to important progress in the field as old as classical fluid dynamics. This proposal will focus on understanding relativistic fluids, specifically in their connection with black hole physics. The questions to be explored include macroscopic fluid flows, thermal and quantum fluctuations, correlations, quantum-mechanical anomalies, and the associated physical effects.

一位古老的哲学家指出，“一切都在流动”。在物理学中，流动的事物是由流体动力学描述的，流体动力学的集合以精确的数学含义来控制流动。许多不同的物理系统可能以相同的方式流动，这取决于它们的微观成分的对称性。 几年前，据了解，黑洞也可能以液体的方式流动。因此，对流体动力学的研究转化为黑洞动力学的研究，反之亦然。与这种黑孔/流体对应关系相关的液体是高度量子力学的，似乎以与在布鲁克黑文的相对论重离子撞机上产生的夸克 - 葡萄糖等离子体相同，在CERN的大型Handron撞机机上流动。 。黑洞和量子液体之间的这种联系以及对相对论流体动力学的新兴趣，由于实验性重离子计划最近导致了与经典流体动力学一样古老的重要进展。 该建议将集中于理解相对论流体，特别是它们与黑洞物理学的联系。要探索的问题包括宏观流体流，热和量子波动，相关性，机械机械异常以及相关的物理效应。
