Effects of viscosity on the mapping of initial to final state in heavy ion collisions
Effects of viscosity on the mapping of initial to final state in heavy ion collisions
We investigate the correlation between various aspects of the initial geometry of heavy ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider energies and the final anisotropic flow, using v-USPhydro, a $2+1$ event-by-event viscous relativistic hydrodynamical model. We test the extent of which shear and bulk viscosity affect the prediction …
