Abstract

We investigate whether hydrodynamic attractors are present in simulations of the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy-ion collisions. We argue that Lagrangian schemes to solve the relativistic viscous fluid equations can be particularly useful to characterize the properties of attractors in heavy ion collisions. Preliminary results are shown in Israel-Stewart theory to support such a claim. We also discuss how to perform the slow-roll expansion in Israel-Stewart theory undergoing a general flow, which naturally leads to the definition of a resummed shear viscosity coefficient that depends on the gradients of the hydrodynamic fields.
