【 摘 要 】

This letter is dedicated to providing proof of two statements concerning the gradient expansion of relativistic hydrodynamics. The first statement is that the ordering of transverse derivatives is irrelevant in the gradient expansion of a non-conformal fluid. The second statement is that the longitudinal projection of the Weyl covariant derivative can be eliminated in the gradient expansion of a conformal fluid. This second statement does not apply to curvature tensors. In the conformal case, we know that the ordering of Weyl covariant derivatives is irrelevant in the gradient expansion.
