Description
A model for energy, pressure and flow velocity distributions at the beginning of relativistic heavy ion collisions has been developed to be used as initial condition for hydrodynamical calculations. The results show that at the early stages QGP forms a tilted disk, such that the direction of the largest pressure gradient stays in the reaction plane, but deviates from both the beam and the usual transverse flow directions. Such initial conditions may lead to the creation of the "antiflow" or the "third flow component".
