We study the effects of low- p
T collective flow on radiative energy loss from high- p
T partons traversing the QCD medium created in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. We illustrate this idea through three examples. Due to longitudinal flow, jet profiles at the LHC present marked asymmetries in the -plane, and widths in
and
of particle distributions associated with a high- p
T trigger at RHIC become different. Finally, transverse flow implies an increase of high- p
T
v
2 at RHIC.
