We review how flow observables of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are influenced by the initial condition, the description of the fluid dynamical (FD) stage and freeze-out (FO). We discuss the effects of the resolution of the FD treatment, the arising smoothing and numerical viscosity, as well as the consequences of final FO. This final FO stage includes confinement and simultaneous formation of constituent quarks. From the energy and momentum conservation at the FO stage pressure change and flow velocity may occur, which further modifies the observables.
