  In a noncentral heavy-ion collision, the two colliding nuclei have finite
angular momentum in the direction perpendicular to the reaction plane. After
the collision, a fraction of the total angular momentum is retained in the
produced hot quark-gluon matter and is manifested in the form of fluid shear.
Such fluid shear creates finite flow vorticity. We study some features of such
generated vorticity, including its strength, beam energy dependence, centrality
dependence, and spatial distribution.
