摘要

Anisotropic transverse flow patterns that are observed in relativistic heavy ion collisions can be added to the available microscopic Monte Carlo event generators as a final state modification to the azimuthal angles of the particles, which are generated isotropically. The method proposed for this purpose by A. M. Poskanzer and S. A. Voloshin [Phys. Rev. C 58, 1671 (1998)] is valid only for small values of the Fourier coefficients v(n) and therefore it is not suitable for simulations with large values of anisotropy such as the ones predicted for Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. We present here a possible solution to treat the cases of large anisotropies..
