Description
Anisotropic flow is an important observable to study the properties and the evolution of the system created in heavy-ion collisions. We present measurements of anisotropic flow of strange and multi-strange particles, including Ks, Λ, Ξ, Ω and φ, in Pb–Pb collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76 TeV recorded with the ALICE detector. The results are compared to hydrodynamic model calculations, blast-wave fit and the measurements at top RHIC energy. Particle mass dependence and scaling with the number of quarks of the anisotropic flow will be also discussed.
