In spite of a recognized importance of the light cluster formation, the studies - both
experimental and theoretical - on the rapidity-dependent nature of D and`D production in the heavy-ion collisions
are very sparse. In the present work we have tried to assemble the very limited data-sets
available from AuAu, PbPb and some other nuclear collisions at various energies.
Furthermore, within the precincts of the coalescence approach and the framework of a very
recently advanced phenomenological model, we have tried to interpret the obtained data in
a comprehensive manner. Besides, we have also tried to compare the performances shown by
the chosen approach with those obtained by some other models extant in the field and in
the heavy-ion literature.
