We predict the elliptic flow parameter v{sub 2} in U+U collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV and in Pb+Pb collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=2.76 TeV using a hybrid model in which the evolution of the quark gluon plasma is described by ideal hydrodynamics with a state-of-the-art lattice QCD equation of state and the subsequent hadronic stage is described by a hadron cascade model.
