Fluid Dynamics as Diagnostic Tool for Heavy Ion Collisions

Abstract

Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at an energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=65\mathrm{GeV}$ are studied in a three-dimensional Fluid Dynamical model. The results of a hydrodynamical evolution using the PIC-method are shown. The importance and diagnostic value of a proper reaction plane determination is emphasized, and the time development of collective measurables is presented.
