Description
The main goal of beam energy scan programs in heavy-ion collisions is to investigate the equation of state (EoS) and explore possible phase transitions in strongly interacting matter. Anisotropic flow, quantified from the azimuthal distributions of produced particles, is a key observable in this context. Beyond single-harmonic measurements, correlations between different flow harmonics provide high sensitivity to the properties of the EoS and to the mechanisms of collective dynamics. In this work, we study correlations between the directed ($v_1$), elliptic ($v_2$), triangular ($v_3$), and quadrangular ($v_4$) flow coefficients using state-of-the-art transport models with different assumptions on the nuclear EoS at Nuclotron-based NICA energies, which are relevant for the MPD experiment. The results are compared with available HADES data for validation
