Introduction
� Evidence that hydrodynamics of nearly perfect fluidmay be relevant for the description of mediumcreated in heavy-ion collisions
� Almost perfect fluid
(low viscosity)

Assumptions
� 1) Transversally isentropic:
� 2) Quasi-stationary: Transverse flow smooth enough to be driven only by temperature change. Thus, Bernoulli equation:

Conclusions
� i) Hydrodynamic potential allows to bypass the non-linearities of the initial equations.
� ii) Under transverse isentropicity and quasi-stationarity we obtain the general solution for spatial eccentricity and elliptic flow coefficient.
� iii) Time-evolution is acquired through temperature-evolution.
� iv) Assumptions are verified qualitatively, but not exactly

Outlook
� i) Describe the -dependence of elliptic flow.
� ii) Extend to more physical initial conditions(beyond fixed-temperature)
� iii) Extend to weak viscosity.
� iv) The rather simple mechanisms, may facilitate AdS/CFT approach of elliptic flow.
