Description
We investigate contributions from local hydrodynamic fluctuations to
the near side ridge in the two‐particle correlation data from heavy
ion collisions. We introduce a local perturbation on top of a
hydrodynamic flow which respects conformal symmetry and incorporates
radial flow. The subsequent evolution of the perturbation is
determined by hydrodynamics; after freeze‐out, we examine the effects
this local perturbation on the single particle spectrum, as well as
the angular and rapidity dependence of the two‐particle correlation
function. We hope that our analytical results in this physical system
with enhanced symmetries will provide guidance to those wishing to
incorporate flow fluctuations
