This dissertation is about the study of three important issues in the theory of relativistic fluid dynamics: the stability of dissipative fluid dynamics, the shear viscosity, and fluid dynamics with triangle anomaly.(1)The second order theory of fluid dynamics is necessary for causality. However the causality cannot be guaranteed for all parameters. The constraints for parameters are then given. We also point out that the causality and the stability are inter-correlated. It is found that a causal system must be stable, but an acausal system in the boost frame at high speed must be unstable. (2)The transport coefficients can be determined in kinetic theory. We will firstly discuss about derivation of the shear viscosity via variational method in the Boltzmann equation. Secondly, we will compute the shear viscosity via AdS/CFT duality in a Bjorken boost invariant fluid with radial flow. It is found that the ratio of the shear viscosity to entropy density is consistent with the work of Policastro, Son and Starinets. As another application of AdS/CFT duality, we also investigate the property of baryons in the strongly coupled plasma. (3)As the last topic, we investigate the fluid dynamics with quantum triangle anomalies. Recently it is pointed out that the vorticity has to be introduced to relativistic fluid dynamics with anomalies to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics. These new terms are also relevant to the Chiral Magnetic Effect. We find such terms can be derived from the kinetic approach. The coefficients of the vorticity are also evaluated.
