Abstract
The role of filamentation instability of quark-gluon plasma, in explai ning collective phenomena in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, has be en analyzed. Using equations of SU(2) two fluid color hydrodynamics it is shown that this instability can significantly enhance nuclear stop ping and might contribute to collective sideward flows.
