We study the effects of bulk viscosity on $p_T$ spectra and
elliptic flow in heavy ion collisions. For this purpose we compute
the dissipative correction $\delta f$ to the single particle
distribution functions in leading-log QCD, and in kinetic
models of a hadronic resonance gas. We find that for a near
conformal fluid the bulk viscosity is suppressed by two powers
of the conformal...

We present recent developments in describing anisotropic flow in heavy-ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN with a relativistic 3+1 dimensional viscous event-by-event hydrodynamic simulation.
We present results for elliptic, triangular and higher harmonic flow coefficients, including...

Collective flow is one of the key measurements to study the hot and
dense matter created in heavy ion collisions, because it relates closely to early evolution of the matter. In particular, higher harmonic flow measurements plays an important role in constraining theoretical model calculations describing properties of the matter.
The silicon vertex tracker (VTX) was installed into the...

Azimuthal anisotropic flows vn, arising from the anisotropic collision geometry, reflect the hydrodynamic properties of the quark gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A long standing issue in vn measurements is the contamination of nonflow, caused by intrinsic particle correlations unrelated to the collision geometry. Nonflow limits, in part, the precise extraction of the...

Currently a possible origin of "Mach-Cone-like structure" is regarded as triangular
flow and higher harmonics which are produced through event-by-event fluctuated initial states, which is a push to implement effects of event-by-event fluctuations
in the initial conditions of relativistic hydrodynamic models.
When the hydrodynamic simulation is performed with initial conditions with the...

One of the main goals of the STAR experiment at Relativistic Heavy
Ion Collider (RHIC) is to study the properties of the QCD
matter at extremely high energy and parton densities,
created in the heavy-ion collisions. Understanding the
partonic collectivity through the measurement of elliptic
flow ($v_{2}$) of multi-strange hadrons ($\phi$, $\Xi$ and $\Omega$)
is believed to be a sensitive...
