Triangular flow in hydrodynamics and transport theory

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the Fourier decomposition of the relative azimuthal angle, Δϕ, distribution of particle pairs yields a large cos(3Δϕ) component, extending to large rapidity separations Δη>1. This component captures a significant portion of the ridge and shoulder structu...
