Hydrodynamics from free-streaming to thermalization and back again
We study the evolution of the Knudsen and Reynolds numbers in (0+1)-dimensionally expanding fluids with Bjorken symmetry for systems whose microscopic mean free path rises more quickly with time than usually assumed. This allows us to explore within a simple 1-dimensional model the transition from i...
