This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -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 particularinterest to researchers that apply relativistic fluid dynamics in cosmology, astrophysics, and high-energy nuclear physics. 308 pp. Englisch.…

About the Author
Professor Gabriel Denicol received his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics (with summa cum laude) from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 2012. His Ph.D. thesis discussed how relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics emerges from microscopic theory, generalizing the famous and well-known Israel-Stewart theory. He was a Banting postdoctoral fellow at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, from 2012 to 2015, where he focused on the fluid-dynamical description of the hot and dense nuclear matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Afterwards, he became research assistant at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where he stayed until 2016. In 2016, he joined the Department of Physics at Federal University Fluminense, Niteroi, Brazil, as a Professor Adjunto. His current research fields are relativistic non-equilibrium phenomena, fluid dynamics, and transport theory. He was awarded the Bolsa de Produtividade fellowship from CNPq, which he maintains since 2016, and theYoung Scientist fellowship, from FAPERJ, in 2018.
Professor Dirk Rischke received his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics (with summa cum laude) from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1993. In his Ph.D. thesis, he developed many-body approximations for the equation of state of hot and dense nuclear matter. After graduation, he was awarded a Lynen fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt foundation, with which he went to Columbia University in the City of New York from 1994 to 1996, where he worked on the hydrodynamical description of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Afterwards, he spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at Duke University, before joining Brookhaven National Laboratory as a RIKEN-BNL Fellow from 1997 to 2000 and his research focused on color-superconducting quark matter. In 2001, he joined Goethe University as a Full Professor for Theoretical Physics. His current research fields are hadrons in vacuum, hot and dense strongly interacting matter, and the theory of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics. From 2017 to 2021, he was spokesperson of the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center - TransRegio 211 Strong-interaction matter under extreme conditions. During his career, he has supervised more than 40 Ph.D. students and postdocs, some of them now hold positions in academia.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
