Hydrodynamics: Fluctuating Initial Conditions and Two-particle Correlations

Abstract

Event-by-event hydrodynamics (or hydrodynamics with fluctuating initial conditions) has been developed in the past few years. Here we discuss how it may help to understand the various structures observed in two-particle correlations.
