Short abstract: We present fully 3-D simulations of supersonic, radiatively cooling intermittent jets with intermediate and long variability periods (that is, periods of the order of or longer than, the dynamical time scale of the jet).…
The Fanaroff-Riley class II radio galaxy Cygnus A hosts jets which produce radio emission, X-ray cavities, cocoon shocks, and X-ray hotspots where the jet interacts with the ICM. Surrounding one hotspot is a peculiar "hole" feature which…

Fast microjets can emerge out of liquid pools from the rebounding of drop-impact craters, or when a bubble bursts at it surface. The fastest jets are the narrowest and are a source of aerosols both from the ocean and a glass of champagne,…

The model of non-ballistic jet motion proposed in 2008 provides a simple explanation to the inward jet motion and bent jet. Recently, evidences of such a non-radial motion increase rapidly, and more complicated morphologies appear. On the…
Interaction between a central outflow and a surrounding wind is common in astrophysical sources powered by accretion. Understanding how the interaction might help to collimate the inner central outflow is of interest for assessing…
Emission in many astrophysical transients originates from a shocked fluid. A central engine typically produces an outflow with varying speeds, leading to internal collisions within the outflow at finite distances from the source. Each such…

Rare and extreme events in turbulent flows play a critical role in transport, mixing and transition, yet are notoriously difficult to capture experimentally. Here we report, to our knowledge, the first direct experimental detection of an…
