The collective flow is crucial for understanding the anisotropic expansion of particles produced in heavy-ion collisions and is sensitive to the equation of state of nuclear matter in high baryon density regions. In this paper, we use the hadronic transport model SMASH to study the elliptic flow ($v_2$), quadrangular flow ($v_4$), and their ratio ($v_{4}/v_{2}^{2}$) in Au+Au collisions at high baryon density. Our results show that the inclusion of baryonic mean-field potential in the model successfully reproduces experimental data from the HADES experiment, indicating that baryonic interactions play an important role in shaping anisotropic flow. In addition to comparing the transverse momentum ($p_T$), rapidity, and centrality dependence of $v_{4}/v_{2}^{2}$ between HADES data and model calculations, we also explore its time evolution and energy dependence from $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =$ 2.4 to 4.5 GeV. We find that the ratio $v_{4}/v_{2}^{2}$ is close to 0.5, as expected from hydrodynamic behavior. These results suggest that the early-stage evolution in the high baryon density region resembles ideal fluid behavior. |
