We present results of the application of the anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydro) framework to (2+1)-dimensional boost invariant systems. The necessary aHydro dynamical equations are derived by taking moments of the Boltzmann equation using a momentum-space anisotropic one-particle distribution function. We present a derivation of the necessary equations and then proceed to numerical solutions of the resulting partial differential equations using both realistic smooth Glauber initial conditions and fluctuating Monte-Carlo Glauber initial conditions. For this purpose we have developed two numerical implementations: one which is based on straightforward integration of the resulting partial differential equations supplemented by a two-dimensional weighted Lax-Friedrichs smoothing in the case of fluctuating initial conditions; and another that is based on the application of the Kurganov-Tadmor central scheme. For our final results we compute the collective flow of the matter via the lab-frame energy-momentum tensor eccentricity as a function of the assumed shear viscosity to entropy ratio, proper time, and impact parameter.
