Abstract: A novel three-fluid dynamical model for simulations of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC Beam Energy Scan programme, called MUFFIN, has been developed. The novelty consists of modular inclusion of the Equation of State, use of hyperbolic coordinates that allow to simulate higher collision energies, and fluctuating initial conditions. The model reproduces rapidity and $p_t$ spectra of collisions from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=7.7 to 62.4 GeV. Ideal fluid is assumed, and the elliptic flow is over-predicted, particularly at lower collision energies.
