Description

We discuss different approaches to model various stage of relativistic heavy ion reactions. We will start from straightforward hydrodynamic descriptions and will then turn to multi-fluid hydrodynamics and hybrid approaches where a Boltzmann transport equation is coupled to hydrodynamics. The main physics results are discussed with a focus on elliptic flow and di-lepton production.
