Description
Anisotropies of the azimuthal hadron distributions measured in nuclear collisions at highest energies carry information about the anisotropies of collective transverse expansion. Through a comparison of these data with hydrodynamic simulations one hopes to extract transport coefficients of the hot nuclear matter. It is widely accepted that the flow anisotropies have their root in strong inhomogeneities within the hot matter shortly after the impact. We present a 3D hydrodynamic simulation where anisotropies are generated by momentum deposited from hard patrons during the evolution of the fireball. We analyse to what extent this mechanism can generate the observed anisotropic flow.
