The systematic study of hadronic elliptic flow in various relativistic heavy ion collisions is important for the investigation of the initial geometry influence on the quark gluon plasma characteristics. The φ meson consists of strange and antistrange quarks and has a small interaction cross section with non-strange hadrons. Therefore, φ mesons are barely affected by late hadronic stage and reflect detailed information about hot and dense matter properties. Additionally, the comparison of elliptic flow for φ mesons to those of charged hadrons will provide additional information on the flavor dependence of flow. PHENIX has measured second order azimuthal anisotropy coefficients for φ mesons in Cu+Au collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV and in U+U collisions at √SNN = 193 GeV at midrapidity (| η | < 0.35). The obtained data suggest scaling of elliptic flow for φ mesons with eccentricity of participant nucleons in Cu+Au, U+U, and Au+Au collisions. Viscous hydrodynamic model iEBE-VISHNU provides a simultaneous description of the obtained data.
