Abstract

We apply the hydrodynamic model for the dynamics of matter created in p-Pb collisions at 4.4TeV and d-Pb collisions at 3.11TeV. The fluctuating initial conditions are calculated in the Glauber Monte-Carlo model for several centrality classes. The expansion is performed event by event in 3+1-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics. Noticeable elliptic and triangular flows appear in the distributions of produced particles.
