We study the correlations between light flavor and heavy quarks (HQs) flow harmonics at LHC energy within a transport approach. We have investigated the role of transport coefficient in developing these anisotropic flows correlations. We suggest υ n h e a v y − υ n l i g h t correlation and the relative fluctuations of anisotropic flows σ υ η /〈 υ n 〉 as novel observables to constrain the HQ transport coefficients in quark gluon plasma. Finally, very strong electro-magnetic (E.M.) fields are created in Ultra-relativistic Heavy-Ion Collision (HIC). We show within relativistic Boltzmann transport approach coupled with E.M. field that the strong e.m. field is responsible for a splitting of directed flow υ 1 of D and anti-D mesons of few percent, i.e. much larger compared to the observed charged particles. Moreover, we discuss the role played by the initial large bulk vorticity on the build up of rapidity odd HQs directed flow υ 1 .
