We compute the gravitational quasinormal modes of the globalAdS_5-Schwarzschild solution. We show how to use the holographic dual of thesemodes to describe a thermal plasma of finite extent expanding in a slightlyanisotropic fashion. We compare these flows with the behavior of quark-gluonplasmas produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions by estimating theelliptic flow coefficient and the thermalization time.Comment: 59 pages, 6 figures. v2: corrected linearized hydro treatment, refs adde
