Description

We study the role of viscosity in the early stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We investigate the effects of viscosity on the chemical equilibration of a parton gas. In the presence of viscosity, the lifetime of the system is increased. The temperature as well as the parton fugacities evolves more slowly compared to ideal fluid dynamics
