The collective flow of charged hadrons emitted in heavy ion collisions can be characterized using the Fourier coefficient v2 (elliptic flow), as well as with the higher order coefficients, v3, v4, etc, which result primarily from fluctuations linked to initial conditions in the colliding nuclei. The latter is of great importance since it can provide insight on reaction dynamics, as well as constraints for reliable extraction of transport coefficients. In recent measurements, PHENIX has extracted v2,3,4 coefficients for charged hadrons in Au+Au collisions via two independent methods. The first correlates the azimuthal distribution of particles at mid-rapidity in the central arm of PHENIX with event planes determined at relatively large pseudorapidity. The second correlates the azimuthal angles of the mid-rapidity particles with the charge weighted azimuthal angles of the forward rapidity Beam-Beam Counters. The progress of the study these measurements as a function of centrality and pT for charged hadrons will be presented and compared to earlier measurements for Au+Au collisions at the same energy.
