Transport Coefficients of Relativistic Systems — •Moritz Greif — Goethe Universität Frankfurt
It becomes increasingly important to know the strength of dissipative effects in relativistic hydrodynamics. Recently, scientists have strongly focused on shear viscosity. Nevertheless, heat flow, being proportional to spatial gradients of e.g. chemical potential over temperature, can also be an important effect in studies of relativistic fluid dynamics. We investigated the heat conductivity coefficient for an ultrarelativistic Boltzmann-gas, using our partonic transport model BAMPS. BAMPS solves the relativistic Boltzmann-equation numerically for arbitrary different particle species. We use pQCD scattering cross-sections. Furthermore, the response of a charged, relativistic gas onto an external electric field determines the electric conductivity. We investigated the electric conductivity of different model systems using three different methods: analytic transport theory, linear response via Green-Kubo formulae in equilibrium BAMPS-setups, and applying the textbook-picture of linear response to BAMPS. We plan to investigate the electric conductivity with the recently improved 2 <-> 3 processes from BAMPS and compare the results with lattice QCD.
