Findings

Enhanced understanding of freeze-out conditions.

Inclusion of chemo- and thermo-diffusion effects.

Framework applicable to heavy quark and strangeness production.

Abstract

The relativistic hydrodynamic approach is used to describe production of strangeness and/or heavy quarks in ultrarelativistic heavy ion reactions. Production processes are important ingredients of dissipative effects in the hadronic liquid. Beyond viscosity also chemo- and thermo-diffusion processes are considered. This also allows to specify chemical and thermal freeze-out conditions.
