Abstract
We present a sophisticated treatment of the hydrodynamic evolution of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions, based on the following features: initial conditions obtained from a flux tube approach, compatible with the string model and the color glass condensate picture; an event-by-event procedure, taking into the account the highly irregular space structure of single events, being experimentally visible via so-called ridge structures in two-particle correlations; the use of an efficient code for solving the hydrodynamic equations in dimensions, including the conservation of baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge; the employment of a realistic equation of state, compatible with lattice gauge results; the use of a complete hadron resonance table, making our calculations compatible with the results from statistical models; and a hadronic cascade procedure after hadronization from the thermal matter at an early time.
