We review the general features of nonsingular universes (ie those that go from an era of
accelerated collapse to an expanding era without displaying a singularity) as well as cyclic …

In the past few decades, numerous heat conduction models extending beyond Fourier's
have been developed to account for large gradients, fast phenomena, wave propagation …

Our aim is to propose a theory which goes beyond the classical formulation of
thermodynamics. This is achieved by enlarging the space of basic independent variables …

The full causal Müller-Israel-Stewart (MIS) theory of dissipative processes in relativistic fluids
is applied to a flat, homogeneous, and isotropic universe with bulk viscosity. It is clarified in …

The full set of equations governing the evolution of self-gravitating spherically symmetric
dissipative fluids with anisotropic stresses is deployed and used to carry out a general study …

In this work we simulate a viscous hydrodynamical model of noncentral Au-Au collisions in
2+ 1 dimensions, assuming longitudinal boost invariance. The model fluid equations were …

We investigate the evolution of self-gravitating either dissipative or non-dissipative systems
satisfying the condition of minimal complexity, and whose areal radius velocity is …

Over the past one hundred years, Brownian motion theory has contributed substantially to
our understanding of various microscopic phenomena. Originally proposed as a …

One of the most striking results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is the strong elliptic
flow. This review summarizes what is observed and how these results are combined with …

We present a complete set of the equations and matching conditions required for the
description of physically meaningful charged, dissipative, spherically symmetric gravitational …
