Abstract
We use the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck model with a momentum-dependent nuclear mean field to simulate the dynamical evolution of heavy ion collisions. We re-examine the azimuthal anisotropy observable, proposed as sensitive to the equation of state of nuclear matter. We obtain that this sensitivity is maximal when the azimuthal anisotropy is calculated for nuclear composite fragments, in agreement with some previous calculations. As a test case we concentrate on semi-central $^{197}{\rm Au}\ +\ ^{197}{\rm Au}$ collisions at 400 $A$ MeV.
