Relativistic hydrodynamics with spinodal decomposition

Key Points

• Incorporating spinodal decomposition, these equations improve the understanding of phase separation dynamics in collisions.
• The equations are particularly relevant for simulating heavy-ion collisions and neutron star mergers indicating first-order phase transitions.
• Solving these equations in the context of Bjorken flow allows for deeper insights into the geometric aspects of ion collisions.
• This work addresses important surface effects during phase separation, highlighting the significance in high-energy physics scenarios.
