Abstract
We present results for the elliptic and triangular flow coefficients and in collisions at using event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic simulations. We study the effect of initial state fluctuations and finite viscosities on the flow coefficients and as functions of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity. Fluctuations are essential to reproduce the measured centrality dependence of elliptic flow. We argue that simultaneous measurements of and can determine more precisely.
