The recent notion of the perfect fluid created at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) has been embraced by many experimentalists and theorists alike. However, much of the evidence to this notion has been based on the success of describing some experimental observables by non-viscous hydrodynamics or by small shear viscosity to entropy density ratio. Developments on viscous hydrodynamics evolved from (0+1) dimensions (Bjorken scaling solution) over (1+1) dimensions (Bjorken + transverse flow) to (2+1) dimensions (elliptic flow) and currently (3+1) dimensions. There still exist some formal issues concerning the allowed form of the relativistic viscous hydrodynamic equations and what effects the new additional or higher order terms will have on the spacetime evolution and the experimental observables. Starting with a brief introduction of the basics of relativsitic fluid dynamics, I will discuss our current knowledge of relativistic theory of fluid dynamics in the presence of dissipative fluxes.
