Abstract
General features of the formalism describing hydrodynamic evolution of transversally thermalized matter possibly produced at the very early stages of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are presented. Thermodynamical consistency of the model is emphasized. The covariant formulas for the moments of the phase-space distribution function are derived. The simple model for the transition from purely transverse to standard perfect-fluid hydrodynamics is proposed.
