contents We present a study on the longitudinal flow decorrelation in heavy-ion collisions at the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) energies ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 11.5 to 200 GeV in Au+Au collisions) using the AMPT model. We measure the second and third order factorization ratios ($r_{2}$ and $r_{3}$) across BES energies, finding $r_{2}$ weakly dependent on collision energy while $r_{3}$ shows a more prominent collision energy dependent. The effect of parton-parton scattering cross section on $r_{2}$ and $r_{3}$ is studied which suggests that longitudinal decorrelation could be a potential observable to constrain transport properties of the medium. We also analyze the contributions of flow-plane and flow magnitude decorrelation, with flow-plane decorrelation being dominant. we measure a recently proposed observable, the four particle cumulant ($T_{2}$), which remains resilient to non-flow effects and exhibits sensitivity to different decorrelation patterns. Through the measurement of $T_{2}$, we consistently observe a hint of S-shaped or torqued decorrelation across all energy ranges in peripheral collisions (40-80\%). But in central and mid-central collisions, presence of any specific pattern of decorrelation is missing in AMPT model.
