Abstract
We investigate the charm-quark propagation in the QGP media produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC. Purely collisional and radiative processes lead to a significant suppression of final -meson spectra at high transverse momentum and a finite flow of heavy quarks inside the fluid dynamical evolution of the light partons. The -meson nuclear modification factor and the elliptic flow are studied at two collision energies. We further propose to measure the triangular flow of mesons, which we find to be nonzero in non-central collisions.
