Summary
This chapter contains a detailed comparison between theory simulation results for relativistic nuclear collisions to experimental data. Different collision systems (lead–lead, proton–lead, and proton–proton collisions) are studied and it is found that fluid simulations deliver a remarkably accurate description of experimental data with a minimum of parameters and fine-tuning.
