Building up the elliptic flow: analytical insights
read the original abstract
In this paper, we present a fully analytical description of the early-stage formation of elliptic flow in relativistic viscous hydrodynamics. We first construct an elliptic deformation of Gubser flow which is a boost invariant solution of the Navier-Stokes equation with a nontrivial transverse profile. We then analytically calculate the momentum anisotropy of the flow as a function of time and discuss the connection with the empirical formula by Bhalerao {\it et al.} regarding the viscosity dependence of elliptic flow.

Nonlinear response of flow harmonics in Gubser flow with participant-reaction planes mismatch
Analytic nonlinear response coefficients for v2 and v4 in Gubser flow are derived, including a participant-plane angle factor that modifies strength and sign of the response.
