Fluctuations and initial state granularity in heavy ion collisions and their effects on observables from hydrodynamics

A comparison is made between results obtained using smooth initial conditions and event-by-event initial conditions in the hydrodynamical description of relativistic nuclear collisions. Some new results on directed flow are also included.
