Bulk viscosity in 2D relativistic fluids: the effects of temperature and modifications to the Rayleigh-Brillouin spectrum

Abstract

The dependence of the bulk viscosity with the relativistic parameter z=kT/mc2, obtained through the complete Boltzmann equation [1,2], is thoroughly analyzed. A complete and rigorous examination of the relevant non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic limits is carried out in the case of a hard disk model and compared with the results obtained in the relaxation time approximation. The modifications of the non-vanishing bulk viscosity to the Rayleigh-Brillouin is briefly discussed.
