Abstract

In this work, we study the charged hadron anisotropic flow coefficients vnv_n (up to n=12n = 12) using high-statistics event-by-event simulations of Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=5.02\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} = 5.02 and 5.365.36~TeV, employing the IP-Glasma + MUSIC + UrQMD hybrid approach. The power spectra of anisotropic flow coefficients (vn{2}v_n\{2\} vs. nn) are compared with the ALICE measurements from central to 50% centrality. To understand the various sources contributing to the high-order vnv_n coefficients, we analyze the nonlinear mode coefficients for high-order anisotropic flow coefficients using different approximations and make comparisons with available measurements.
