Motivation<br />
Heavy ion collisions<br />
Question:<br />
Do we discover deconfined matter in these collisions; can we extract information<br />
about the properties of quarks and gluons?<br />
Possible answer:<br />
<strong>Hydrodynamics</strong><br />
◮ extract local temperatures, energy densities<br />
◮ describe collective effects<br />
◮ no / little detailed knowledge of microscopic physics needed, if relevant input<br />
provided externally<br />
◮ analyse experimental data in this framework<br />
Applicable <strong>to</strong> detect signatures of deconfined matter with a hydrodynamical model?<br />
