Flow develops in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions via re-interactions among partons or/and hadrons. Characterizing flow is a crucial step towards understanding the formation of partonic matter. We review new measurements on anisotropic flow, including v 2 at large rapidity, v 1 , v 4 , and new ways of addressing non-flow issues. We then show the self-consistency of the data and characterize flow of pions, kaons, protons and Ξ within the blast wave parametrization. Finally, we show that the data currently available suggest that flow develops at both partonic and hadronic stages.
