We investigate the expansion dynamics of a dilute Fermi gas at unitarity in the context of dissipative fluid dynamics. Our aim is to quantify the effects of shear viscosity on the time evolution of the system. We compare exact numerical solutions of the equations of viscous hydrodynamics to various approximations that have been proposed in the literature. Our main findings are (i) shear viscosity leads to characteristic features in the expansion dynamics; (ii) a quantitative description of these effects has to include reheating; (iii) dissipative effects are not sensitive to the equation of state P(n, T) as long as the universal relation P = 2/3 epsilon is satisfied; (iv) the expansion dynamics mainly constrains the cloud average of the shear viscosity.

Multiplicative noise and the diffusion of conserved densities

Jingyi Chao, Thomas Schafer

Summary: In this study, the role of multiplicative noise in stochastic fluid dynamics was investigated. It was found that multiplicative noise contributes at the same order as non-linear interactions in model B, but is a higher order correction in model H for the relaxation of a scalar density and the tail of the stress tensor correlation function.

N-particle irreducible actions for stochastic fluids

Jingyi Chao, Thomas Schafer

Summary: We construct 1PI and 2PI effective actions for stochastic fluid dynamics of a conserved density undergoing diffusive motion. The 1PI action is computed at one-loop order and the 2PI action is approximated at two-loop order. Schwinger-Dyson equations are derived and regularized using Pauli-Villars fields. The resulting equations are numerically solved for a non-critical fluid, revealing the renormalization of the nonlinear coupling due to summation of higher-loop effects. Evidence of a diffuson-cascade, with smaller and smaller exponential suppression for n-loop corrections, is also found.

Far-off-equilibrium expansion trajectories in the QCD phase diagram

Chandrodoy Chattopadhyay, Ulrich Heinz, Thomas Schaefer

Summary: We study the hydrodynamic evolution of a quark-gluon gas with nonzero quark masses and net baryon number in its phase diagram. For far-off-equilibrium initial conditions, the expansion trajectories do not follow the simple rules based on the second law of thermodynamics established for ideal or weakly dissipative fluids. We analyze the Bjorken flow in kinetic theory to provide a microscopic understanding of these macroscopic phenomena and ensure their thermodynamic consistency. We identify a phenomenon called viscous cooling, where the temperature decreases faster than in adiabatic expansion due to dissipative effects.

Dynamics of non-Gaussian fluctuations in model A

Thomas Schafer, Vladimir Skokov

Summary: Motivated by the experimental search for the QCD critical point, we performed simulations of a stochastic field theory with relaxational dynamics and verified the dynamic scaling of correlation functions. By studying time dependent correlation functions, we obtained the dynamic critical exponent. We also investigated the relaxation process after a quench and found that it does not follow simple scaling.

Dissipative superfluid hydrodynamics for the unitary Fermi gas

Jiaxun Hou, Thomas Schafer

Summary: In this study, constraints on the temperature dependence of shear viscosity in the superfluid phase of a dilute Fermi gas are established. The analysis is based on experimental measurements of the aspect ratio of a deformed cloud, and it shows that expansion experiments favor a significant decrease in shear viscosity in the superfluid regime.

Transasymptotics and hydrodynamization of the Fokker-Planck equation for gluons

A. Behtash, S. Kamata, M. Martinez, T. Schafer, V Skokov

Summary: In this study, we investigate the nonlinear transport processes and hydrodynamization of a gluon system undergoing longitudinal boost-invariant expansion. By examining the behavior of solutions at large and small effective Knudsen numbers, we demonstrate different behaviors and the resummation scheme for each moment. The Yang-Mills plasma exhibits non-Newtonian behavior during hydrodynamizing in the UV regime, while in the IR regime, the constitutive relations can be expressed as a multiparameter transseries.
