Abstract: | We present results for the elliptic and triangular flow coefficients v(2) and v(3) in Au+Au collisions at √s=200 AGeV using event-by-event D=3+1 viscous hydrodynamic simulations. We study the effect of initial state fluctuations and finite viscosities on the flow coefficients v(2) and v(3) as functions of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity. Fluctuations are essential to reproduce the measured centrality dependence of elliptic flow. We argue that simultaneous measurements of v(2) and v(3) can determine η/s more precisely. |
