We follow a numerical approach to model the collision of two heavy nuclei from which information about the nuclear mean field can be extracted. The model used in this work is the so-called BUU model named after Boltzmann, Uehling and Uhlenbeck. It involves a solution of the Vlasov transport equation coupled with a quantum collision integral. Solution of the equation is obtained through the self-consistent Lattice Hamiltonian method. Some results which show a transition from attractive to repulsive mean field dynamics are discussed and are in qualitative agreement with experimental data.
