Abstract

This study presents generalization of the Landau hydrodynamic solution for multiparticle production applied to non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions. Obtained results shows longitudinal scaling of elliptic flow v2v_2 as a function of rapidity shifted by beam rapidity (yybeamy-y_{beam}) for different energies (sNN=62.4\sqrt{s_{NN}}=62.4 GeV and 200 GeV) and for different systems (Au-Au and Cu-Cu). It is argued, that the elliptic flow and its longitudinal scaling is due to the initial transverse energy density distribution and initial longitudinal thickness effect.
