Abstract
Hydrodynamical expansion of a viscous fluid with phase transiton is numerically simulated within the thoretical framework of a semiphenomenological transport theory of the quark-gluon plasma with and without Bjorken’s ansatz. Finally we find that the lifetime of the quark-gluon plasma becomes remarkably longer by virtue of the effect of phase transition and dissipation, and that Reynolds number grows up with fluid cooling. We also show that the scaling solution can effectively work even when viscosity and phase transition exist.Keywords
