Abstract
Heavy quarks are powerful tools to characterize the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic nuclear collisions. By exploiting a mapping between transport theory and hydrodynamics, we developed a fluiddynamic description of heavy-quark diffusion in the QCD plasma. We present results for the transverse momentum distributions of charm hadrons and evolution of charm density and diffusion fields obtained using a fluid-dynamic code coupled with the conservation of a heavy-quark current in the QGP in various collision systems.
