Abstract

In this paper we highlight the fact that the physical content of hyperbolic theories of relativistic dissipative fluids is, in general, much broader than that of the parabolic ones. This is substantiated by presenting an ample range of dissipative fluids whose behavior noticeably departs from Navier-Stokes'.
