Anisotropic flow in event-by-event ideal hydrodynamic simulations of sqrt(s_(NN))=200 GeV Au+Au collisions
read the original abstract
We calculate flow observables with the NeXSPheRIO ideal hydrodynamic model and make the first comparison to the complete set of mid-rapidity flow measurements made by the PHENIX collaboration in top energy Au+Au collisions. A simultaneous calculation of v_2, v_3, v_4, and the first event-by-event calculation of quadrangular flow defined with respect to the v_2 event plane (v_4{Psi_2}) gives good agreement with measured values, including the dependence on both transverse momentum and centrality. This provides confirmation that the collision system is indeed well described as a quark-gluon plasma with an extremely small viscosity, and that correlations are dominantly generated from collective effects. In addition we present a prediction for v_5.
