In nuclear collisions at the LHC large number of hard partons are created in initial partonic interactions, so that it is reasonable to suppose that they do not thermalise immediately but deposit their energy and momentum later into the evolving hot quark-gluon fluid. We show that this mechanism leads to contribution to flow anisotropies at all orders which are non-negligible and should be taken into account in realistic simulations.
