Abstract

The space-time evolution of matter produced in high energy nuclear collisions is explored using a three dimensional hydrodynamic model. A significant coupling between longitudinal and transverse hydrodynamic flows is observed. This coupling of flows may be used to infer the degree of stopping in heavy ion experiments. These results are illustrated by qualitative fits to the CERN NA35 data for S+S collisions at 200 GeV nucleon.
