contents This paper examines the holographic computation of bulk and shear viscosity ratios in strongly coupled thermal plasmas using the AdS/BCFT correspondence within Horndeski gravity. We demonstrate that this framework leads to non-zero viscosity-to-entropy ratios ($ζ/S$ and $η/S$) at low temperatures, indicating a break in conformal symmetry. At high temperatures, these ratios approach zero, recovering the expected conformal behavior of quark-gluon plasma. Our findings provide new insights into the hydrodynamic properties of strongly coupled plasmas and offer a more nuanced understanding of QCD-like theories in holographic models.
