Abstract

Recently, the STAR collaboration at RHIC has presented experimental evidence for the correlation between the elliptic flow difference of charged pions and charge asymmetry as a possible signal of the chiral magnetic wave. We demonstrate that the STAR results can be understood within the standard viscous hydrodynamics.
