Shear stress tensor profiles along freeze-out surface

Shear stress tensor profile along freeze-out surface (HS+UH, VISH2+1 with full I-S eqns.):

The curves are also labelled by the grid sizes in numerical calculation. For example, $0.1-0.04$ means $\Delta x=\Delta y=0.1$ fm, $\Delta \tau =0.04$ fm/c.

This figure was updated by H.S. on 09/08/2008 by using totally identical initialization for H&S and R&R eqns., old figure and explanation could be found at Note for Shear stress tensor profiles along freeze-out surface

The figure above was updated on 08/04/2008 by H.S. to include an comparison between different full I-S eqn:

• full I-S eqn-(R&R): $\Delta _{j}^{m}\Delta _{k}^{n}{\dot {\pi }}^{jk}=-{\frac {1}{\tau _{\pi }}}(\pi ^{mn}{-}2\eta \sigma ^{mn})+{\frac {1}{2}}\pi ^{mn}\left(5D(\ln T)-\partial _{k}u^{k}\right)$
  
• full I-S eqn-(S&H):$\Delta _{j}^{m}\Delta _{k}^{n}{\dot {\pi }}^{jk}=-{\frac {1}{\tau _{\pi }}}(\pi ^{mn}{-}2\eta \sigma ^{mn})-{\frac {1}{2}}\pi ^{mn}{\frac {\eta T}{\tau _{\pi }}}d_{k}\left({\frac {\tau _{\pi }}{\eta T}}u^{k}\right)$
