contents Anisotropy scaling functions derived from comprehensive measurements of transverse momentum- and centrality-dependent anisotropy coefficients \(v_2(p_T,\text{cent})\) and \(v_3(p_T,\text{cent})\) in Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 and 2.76 TeV, Xe+Xe collisions at 5.44 TeV and Au+Au collisions at 0.2 TeV, offer new insights into the `ultra-central flow puzzle.' These functions integrate diverse measurements into a single curve, clarifying anisotropy attenuation throughout the entire \(p_T\) and centrality range. They reveal the influence of initial-state eccentricities (\(\varepsilon_{n}\)), dimensionless size (\(\mathbb{R}\)), radial flow, viscous correction to the thermal distribution function (\(δ_f\)), the medium's stopping power (\(\Hat{q}\)), and specific shear viscosity (\(η/s\)) on the observed anisotropies. This analysis not only enhances understanding of transport coefficients but also provides crucial constraints on nuclear deformation.
