Abstract
The space-time evolution of high energy heavy ion collisions is studied with relativistic hydrodynamics. The results are very sensitive to the Equation of State(EoS). For an EoS with the QCD phase transition, a rather unusual matter distribution develops for non-central collisions. Two shells are formed which then physically separate before freeze-out. We make specific predictions for the azimuthal dependence of the flow and for two-pion interferometry.
