Description

We employ a detailed transport model coupled with realistic hydrodynamics in heavy-ion collisions to study the anisotropic flows of charmonium, including directed flow, elliptic flow, and triangular flows. The directed flow ($v_1$) of $J/\psi$ is induced by the rapidity-odd initial energy density, which arises from the rotation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Meanwhile, the elliptic flow ($v_2$) of $J/\psi$ primarily depends on two factors: the initial spatial energy density in the nuclear collision region and the degree of thermalization of charm kinetics. The triangular flow of $J/\psi$ originates from the triangular flows of charm quarks, which acquire anisotropic flows from the surrounding bulk medium with fluctuating initial energy densities. These anisotropic flows ($v_1, v_2, v_3$) of $J/\psi$ contribute to our understanding of the detailed evolutions of charm and charmonium in the fluctuating and rotational QGP.
