Single particle transverse mass spectra and HBT radii of identical pion and identical kaon are analyzed with a blast-wave parametrization under the assumptions local thermal equilibrium and transverse expansion. Under the assumptions, temperature parameter $T$ and transverse expansion rapidity $rho$ are sensitive to the shapes of transverse mass $m_text T$ spectrum and HBT radius $R_text{s}(K_text T)$. Negative and positive correlations between $T$ and $rho$ are observed by fitting $m_text{T}$ spectrum and HBT radius $R_text s (K_text T)$, respectively. For a Monte Carlo simulation using the blast-wave function, $T$ and $rho$ are extracted by fitting $m_T$ spectra and HBT radii together utilizing a combined optimization function $chi^2$. With this method, $T$ and $rho$ of the Monte Carlo sources can be extracted. Using this method for A Multi-Phase Transport model (AMPT) at RHIC energy, the differences of $T$ and $rho$ between pion and kaon are observed obviously, and the tendencies of $T$ and $rho$ vs collision energy $sqrt{s_text{NN}}$ are similar with the results extracted directly from the AMPT model.

We describe RHIC pion data in central A+A collisions and make predictions for LHC based on hydro-kinetic model, describing continuous 4D particle emission, and initial conditions taken from Color Glass Condensate (CGC) model.
We present a calculation of the elliptic flow and azimuthal dependence of the correlation radii in the ellipsoidally symmetric generalization of the Buda-Lund model. The elliptic flow is shown to depend only on the flow anisotropy while in case of correlation radii both flow and space anisotropy play an important role in determining their azimuthal oscillation. We also outline a simple procedure for determining the parameters of the model from data.
We parametrize the transverse momentum distribution of outgoing hadrons in ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions as a superposition of boosted thermal distributions. In this approach, which generalizes the conventional blast wave, the momentum distribution is determined by the distribution of the fluid velocity. We analyze the difference between this generalized blast-wave parametrization and a full hydrodynamic calculation. We then apply the generalized blast-wave fit to experimental data on Pb+Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}=2.76 mathrm{TeV}$. The fit is reasonable up to $p_tsim 6 mathrm{GeV}$, much beyond the range where hydrodynamics is usually applied, but not perfect. Based on the differences between the fit and the data, we argue that an ideal hydrodynamic calculation cannot fit simultaneously all identified particle spectra, irrespective of the specific implementation. In particular, data display a significant excess of pions at low $p_t$, whose physical interpretation is discussed. Data also show that the distribution of the fluid velocity becomes broader as the collision becomes less central. This broadening is explained by event-by-event hydrodynamic calculations, where it results from the centrality dependence of initial-state fluctuations.
The correlation between the harmonic flow and the transverse flow in relativistic heavy ion collisions is calculated in the hydrodynamic model. The partial correlation coefficient, corrected for fluctuations of multiplicity, is compared to experimental data. Estimators of the final transverse and harmonic flow are used to predict the value of the correlation coefficient from the moments of the initial distribution. A good description of the hydrodynamic simulation results is obtained if the estimator for the final transverse flow, besides the most important transverse size and entropy, includes also the eccentricities.
We give the modification of formulas for $p_{perp}$-broadening and energy loss which are necessary to calculate parton interactions in a medium with flow. Arguments are presented leading to the conclusion that for large $p_{perp}$-spectra observed in heavy ion collisions at RHIC, the influence of transverse flow on the determination of the quenching power of the produced medium is small. This leaves open the question of the interpretation of data in a consistent perturbative framework.
