Description

We describe recent results obtained from numerical simulations
of stochastic fluid dynamics near a QCD critical point. We
discuss results for the dynamic critical exponent, the
critical behavior of transport coefficients, and the relaxation
rate of equal-time correlation functions. We also discuss
some exploratory studies of stochastic relativistic fluid
dynamics.
