3D Hydrodynamic Simulations of Relativistic Extragalactic Jets
Philip A. Hughes, Mark A. Miller, G. Comer Duncan
We describe a new numerical 3D relativistic hydrodynamical code, the results of validation tests, and a comparison with earlier, 2D studies. The 3D code has been used to study the…
Relativistic Jet Stability and Structure from the Alfven Point Outwards
P. E. Hardee, A. Rosen, P. A. Hughes +1
The amplitude of jet distortions and accompanying pressure and velocity fluctuations resulting from Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of three dimensional relativistic jets are explored…
A Comparison of the Morphology and Stability of Relativistic and Nonrelativistic Jets
A. Rosen, P. A. Hughes, G. C. Duncan +1
We compare results from a relativistic and a nonrelativistic set of 2D axisymmetric jet simulations. For a set of five relativistic simulations that either increase the Lorentz fac…
Simulated VLBI Images From Relativistic Hydrodynamic Jet Models
Amy J. Mioduszewski, Philip A. Hughes, G. Comer Duncan
A series of simulated maps showing the appearance in total intensity of flows computed using a recently developed relativistic hydrodynamic code (Duncan \& Hughes 1994: ApJ, 436, L…
Simulations of Relativistic Extragalactic Jets
G. Comer Duncan, Philip A. Hughes
We describe a method for the numerical solution of the relativistic Euler equations which we have found to be both robust and efficient, and which has enabled us to simulate relati…
