Abstract
The capability of hydrodynamics to accurately describe slow and long-wavelength fluctuations around nonequilibrium steady states (NESS), characterized by a stationary flow of energy or matter in the presence of a driving force, remains an open question. In this study, we explicitly construct a hydrodynamic description of electrically driven nonequilibrium charged steady states in the limit in which the relaxation of the first nonhydrodynamic excitation is parametrically slow. Our approach involves introducing gapped modes and extending the effective description into a relaxed hydrodynamic theory (RHT). Leveraging the gauge-gravity duality as a tool for controlled computations within nonequilibrium systems, we establish an ultraviolet complete model for these NESS that confirms the validity of our RHT. In summary, our findings provide a concrete realization of the validity of hydrodynamics beyond thermal equilibrium, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of nonequilibrium systems.
