Abstract

Elliptic flow for Au+Au non-central collisions at √sNN=200GeV is investigated within a (2+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The results show that the eccentricity scaling for the collisions is almost perfect. The evolution including the phase transition conforms to the demand of scaling invariance of hydrodynamics of the collision system.
