Abstract

By performing a derivative expansion on a class of boosted Born-Infeld-AdS₅ black branes, we study the hydrodynamics of the dual field theory - in the spirit of AdS/CFT correspondence. We determine the fluid dynamical stress-energy tensor to first order, and find that the ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density conforms to the universal value of 1/4π to all orders of the inverse of the Born-Infeld parameter.
