Abstract

I will review the current status of describing spacetime evolution of the relativistic nuclear collisions with fluid dynamics, and of determining the transport coefficients of strongly interacting matter. The fluid dynamical models suggest that shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of the matter is small. However, there are still considerable challenges in determining the transport coefficients, and especially their temperature dependence is still poorly constrained.
