We propose new ideal hydrodynamics in the function space which describes a fluid composed of the 1+1 dimensional real scalar field in the framework of the stochastic variational method (SVM). In the derivation, the thermal equilibrium is assumed to the internal state of fluid elements in the function space of the scalar-field configuration. The deterministic trajectory of the functional fluid element is related to the functional generalization of the Bohmian trajectory in relativistic quantum field theory. To find the correspondence relation to standard hydrodynamics, a further coarse-graining should be introduced. Thus functional hydrodynamics is regarded as a mesoscopic theory such as the Boltzmann equation in the dynamical hierarchy of many-body systems. Functional hydrodynamics reproduces the exact behaviors of relativistic quantum field theory in a certain limit. We thus expect that our theory is applicable to study the influence of quantum-field theoretical fluctuation in collective flows of produced particles in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

The combined relativistic energy approach and relativistic many-body perturbation theory with the zeroth Dirac-Fock potential approximation are used for computing the thermal Blackbody radiation ionization characteristics of the alkali Rydberg atoms, in particular, the rubidium and caesium in Rydberg states with principal quantum number n = 20-100. Preliminary application of theory to computing ionization rate for the Rydberg sodium atom in the have demonstrated physically reasonable agreement between the theoretical and experimental data. The accuracy of the theoretical data is provided by a correctness of the corresponding relativistic wave functions and accounting for the exchange-correlation effects.
