Description

Fluid-dynamical modeling of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC BES energies is complicated by primary collisions and collective expansion taking place simultaneously. In a multi-fluid model this problem is circumvented by describing the colliding nuclei and produced particles as three separate fluids. I describe the present status of our multi-fluid model MUFFIN (MUlti Fluid simulation of Fast IoN collisions), its improved friction terms and how the new friction terms leave room for finite shear viscosity which allows the reproduction of the elliptic flow data.
