Abstract
Anisotropic expansion of Quark-Gluon Plasma fireballs created in heavy ion collisions at high energies is studied using relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. I quantify the asymmetry using Fourier coefficients in order to inspect the relation between deformations of the initial energy distribution and anisotropies of the finally measured momentum distributions.
