Abstract

In this work we propose the phenomenological study of relativistic hydrodynamics in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. The aim of this project consists in the study of basic theoretical aspects of relativity, fundamentals of quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics and particle physics with the goal of understanding the basic aspects of the evolution of the quark gluon plasma. Moreover, we plan to use our available phenomenological models of hydro evolution of heavy ion collisions in order to study A-A systems at RHIC and LHC.
