This book provides an introduction to relativistic dissipative
fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on its derivation from
microscopic transport theory. After a phenomenological derivation
of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics from the second law of
thermodynamics, the intrinsic instabilities of relativistic
Navier-Stokes theory are discussed. In turn, analytical solutions
of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics are presented.
Following, the authors discuss several theories and approaches to
derive transport coefficients in dissipative fluid dynamics such as
the Chapman-Enskog theory, the theory of Israel and Stewart, and a
more recent derivation of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics
based on kinetic theory, which constitutes the main focus of the
second part of this book. This book is intended for advanced
graduate students and researchers in physics and requires basic
knowledge of the theory of special and general relativity. It
should be of particular interest to researchers that apply
relativistic fluid dynamics in cosmology, astrophysics, and
high-energy nuclear physics.
