We consider recent experimental data on azimuthal distributions of particles seen in heavy-ion collisions at 35 MeV/nucleon and at 50 MeV/nucleon. For [sup 12]C on [sup 12]C at 50 MeV/nucleon laboratory energy, the distribution shows features characteristic of flow; for [sup 12]C on [sup 197]Au experimental data show features characteristic of rotation. For [sup 40]Ar on [sup 51]V at 35 MeV/nucleon, effects of both flow and rotation are seen. In magnitudes the effects are small. We find that Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck calculations are able to reproduce these results.
