Anisotropic flow of identified particles in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}} =$ 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector

Abstract: The measurement of anisotropic flow of identified particles, including charged pion, kaon, (anti-)proton as well as strange and multi-strange particles (${\rm K_{S}^{0}}$, ${\rm \Lambda}$, ${\rm \Xi}$ and ${\rm \Omega}$) are measured in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{{\rm NN}}}}$ = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector. The results are compared to measurements at RHIC and hydrodynamic model calculations. The mass splitting and the scaling with the number of constituent quarks of the anisotropic flow are also discussed.
