Measurements of soft particle production have provided valuable insight on properties of the evolution of the quark-gluon plasma in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. In particular, measurements of flow harmonics using the azimuthal angle distributions of low-pT particles directly test hydrodynamic model descriptions of its evolution. The large acceptance of the ATLAS detector enables the...

We will present recent results on azimuthal flow from the ALICE detector at the LHC. A variety of studies on flow fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions will be shown, and recent searches for the chiral magnetic effect and chiral magnetic wave. Recently published results on identified particle flow and searches for flow in smaller systems will be highlighted, and possible future studies for...

"The anisotropic flow coefficients $v_n$ can provide constraints crucial for
precision extraction of the specific shear viscosity eta/s, of the plasma
(QGP) produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. A significant recent attention
has been given to theoretical studies of $v_n$ (odd and even) and
the associated initial [fluctuating] eccentricities which drive $v_n$.
In recent...

Various aspects of anisotropic collective flow in a system emerging in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions have been studied by the method of two-particle correlations. A key assumption that is usually applied is that the Fourier coefficients of two-particle azimuthal distributions can be factorized into a product of single-particle anisotropy Fourier harmonics. Recent hydrodynamic studies...
