Abstract
Using the Poisson bracket method, we construct the hydrodynamics of nuclear matter in the chiral limit. which describes the dynamics of all low-energy degrees of freedom, including the fluid-dynamical and pionic ones. The hyd rodynamic equations contain, beside five Euler equations of relativistic fl uid dynamics, N-f(2) - 1 second order equations describing propagating pion s and N-f(2) - 1 first order equations describing the advection of the vect or isospin charges. We present hydrodynamic arguments showing that the pion velocity vanishes at the second order phase transition at N-f = 2.
