Relativistic hydrodynamic models at finite net baryon density

The quark-gluon plasma is described as a relativistic fluid with small off-equilibrium corrections in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. This motivates one to study the recent beam energy scan (BES) experiments at RHIC with finite-density hydrodynamics. We present applications of causal dissipative hydrodynamic theory to BES using a (1+1) dimensional model for tests. We also discuss event-by-event analyses by the finite-density hydrodynamic model with state-of-art initial conditions and equation of state.
