%0 Journal Article %T Hydrodynamic Modeling of Heavy-Ion Collisions %A Gale %A Charles %A Jeon %A Sangyong %A Schenke %A Bjoern %J High Energy Physics - Phenomenology %D 2013 %I %X We review progress in the hydrodynamic description of heavy-ion collisions, focusing on recent developments in modeling the fluctuating initial state and event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic simulations. We discuss how hydrodynamics can be used to extract information on fundamental properties of quantum-chromo-dynamics from experimental data, and review successes and challenges of the hydrodynamic framework. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.5893
