contents We have revisited the spin dynamics in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions based on the improved spin- and isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport model, particularly with the constraint of rigorous angular momentum conservation incorporated. We have studied the spin polarization of free nucleons and tritons/$^3$He as well as the spin alignment of deuterons, and predicted the flow splittings for their different spin states. We have also demonstrated that the spin-dependent potential may enhance dissipations and thus have a non-negligible effect on the spin-averaged transverse flow at low collision energies. When rigorous angular momentum conservation in each spin-dependent nucleon-nucleon collision is incorporated, it affects the overall dynamics, the flow, and also the spin polarization, while the effects of the spin-orbit potential on the spin-related observables are still appreciable. The well-developed SIBUU model could be further extended to include hyperons or vector mesons, or used as a hadronic afterburner for spin-related studies in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, with more inelastic channels incorporated in the future.
