Testing self-similar models of powerful radio sources

We have carried out 2-D axisymmetric numerical simulations of light, supersonic jets. These simulations are used to test the hypothesis of self-similarity for the propagation of jets in powerful radio galaxies. A large range of jet parameters has been explored and we find that the jet flow is not al...
