Large-Scale Hydrodynamic Simulations of Astrophysical Jets

We present results of fully three-dimensional (3-D) simulations of astrophysical jets. These ef- forts use the the PLUTO code (Mignone et al. 2007) run in a highly parallel environment for the hydrodynamic, magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD), relativistic hydrodynamic (RHD), and relativis- tic, magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations. In this work, we focus on RMHD simulations, but also present estimations of the 15 GHz radio flux based on RHD simulations post-processed to show the radio-emission from the astrophysical jets. Keywords: jets, active galaxies, blazars, intracluster medium, non-linear dynamics, plasma as- trophysics, computational fluid dynamics, relativistic, magnetized fluid flows.
