Abstract

We generalize a previously known class of exact analytic solutions of relativistic perfect fluid hydrodynamics for the first time to arbitrary temperature-dependent Equation of State. We investigate special cases of this class of solutions, in particular, we present hydrodynamical solutions with an Equation of State determined from lattice QCD calculations. We discuss the phenomenological relevance of these solutions as well.
