• Abstract: The hydrodynamic formulation of the Dirac equation has historically been hindered by the inability to close the system of physical variables without resorting to infinite moment hierarchies. We resolve this longstanding issue by developing a fully covariant chiral-hydrodynamic formulation of the Dirac field in curved spacetime. Working in the Weyl representation, we introduce two independent null vectors, $P_L^μ$ and $P_R^μ$, which decouple the left and right chiral components. This allows us to define chiral geodesic and stochastic velocities, yielding a closed system of exactly eight real equations that corresponds directly to the Dirac field degrees of freedom. Remarkably, this formulation naturally isolates the spin-orbit coupling $(q/2)σ^{μν}F_{μν}$ while demonstrating the vanishing of the spin-gravity coupling in torsion-free general relativity. To demonstrate the analytical power of this framework, we specialize to the Schwarzschild geometry. We obtain exact radial solutions in terms of confluent Heun functions and directly compute the quasi-bound state spectrum (fermionic resonances), quasinormal mode frequencies, and greybody factors. Furthermore, by establishing an exact energy balance equation -- representing the first law of thermodynamics for Dirac fields -- we derive the Hawking radiation flux purely from chiral flux conservation at the event horizon. This work not only provides a closed hydrodynamic theory for spin-1/2 fluids but also establishes a unified framework for analyzing quantum information and fermion dynamics in strong gravitational backgrounds.
