    Quantum Chromodynamics predicts that nuclear matter under extreme temperatures and/or densities will undergo a phase change from hadron gas to Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), state described with partonic degrees of freedom. One of the most important signatures of QGP are azimuthal; anisotropies in transverse momentum distribution of emitted particles in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The ATLAS experiment built at LHC accelerator at CERN in Switzerland is dedicated to studies of proton-proton interactions. The detector is also well suited to study heavy-ion collisions, in particular lead-lead collisions at a centre-of-mass energy 5.5 TeV. This dissertation consists of the estimation of the ATLAS experiment capabilities of measuring the azimuthal angle anisotropies and the detailed analysis of the collective flow results from MC data in which the anisotropy effects were implemented. The main results from the Combined Test Beam are also presented in the thesis, with the focus put on these parts of ATLAS detector which will be used in the azimuthal anisotropies studies.
