Abstract
A full (3+1)-dimensional calculation using Lagrangian
hydrodynamics is proposed for relativistic nuclear collisions.
This calculation enables us to evaluate the anisotropic
flow of the hadronic matter which appears in
non-central and/or asymmetrical relativistic nuclear collisions.
Applying hydrodynamical calculations to the deformed uranium
collisions in the AGS energy region, we discuss the nature of the
space-time
structure
and particle distributions in detail.
