Abstract
The contributions of the hydrodynamic model to the problem of extracti ng the equation of state are discussed with special emphasis on the mi nimum experimental input needed and the role of viscosity. Next the pr oblems of hydrodynamics at ultrarelativistic energies and the methods for obtaining a reliable and accurate solution are introduced. Finally some fundamental problems concerning the hydrodynamic equations of mo tion in the dissipative case are indicated.
