Comparisons Between Transport and Hydrodynamic Calculations
Abstract
We study the energy dissipation in an one-dimensional expansion of gluon matter with Bjorken boost invariance and the formation of shock waves in viscous gluon matter by employing a microscopic parton cascade as well as by solving the Israel-Stewart hydrodynamic equations. Comparisons between the present results from the two approaches are reported.
