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.
