Description
Elliptic flow is easy to compute in hydrodynamics. However experimentally it is obtained in an indirect way. The question we address in this paper is how comparable are these two approaches. For both cases, our study is done using the hydrodynamical code NeXSPheRIO and simulating nuclear collisions at RHIC. (authors)
