Anisotropic hydrodynamics 

Michael Strickland (Kent University)

Anisotropic hydrodynamics is a non-perturbative reorganization of relativistic hydrodynamics that takes into account the large momentum-space anisotropies generated in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. As a result, it allows one to extend the regime of applicability of hydrodynamic treatments to situations that can be quite far from isotropic thermal equilibrium. In this seminar, I will review the basic ideas of the anisotropic hydrodynamics framework and present recent progress made in phenomenological applications.
