Abstract: In the hydrodynamic regime it is possible to investigate the universal collision-dominated dynamics of the isolated electron fluid, while the couplings to the lattice and to impurities becomes secondary. An important transport property is the shear viscosity which describes whether the electron fluid behaves laminar or turbulent. The ratio shear viscosity over entropy is bounded from below and is an indicator for how strongly the system is interacting [Kovtun].
