Application range of perfect spin hydrodynamics

Abstract

The application range of perfect spin hydrodynamics is studied in two cases: one based on the classical spin description and the other using a quantum spin density matrix (Wigner function). Different forms of the conditions connecting the components of the spin polarization tensor, particle mass, temperature, and hydrodynamic flow are introduced, and their mutual relations are explained. The results obtained are important for practical applications of spin hydrodynamics to model heavy-ion collisions.
