We report the results of 3-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a jet formation by the interaction between an accretion disk and a large scale magnetic field. The disk is not treated as a boundary condition but is solved…
Non-relativistic, magnetically-driven jets are constructed by taking self-consistently into account the feedback on the underlying accretion disc. It is shown that such jets are mostly described by the ejection index $\xi= \mbox{d} \ln \dot…
Accretion disks and astrophysical jets are used to model many active astrophysical objects, viz., young stars, relativistic stars, and active galactic nuclei. In this paper we present self-consistent time-dependent simulations of supersonic…
A numerical study of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in compressible magnetohydrodynamics is presented. The three-dimensional simulations consider shear flow in a cylindrical jet configuration, embedded in a uniform magnetic field directed…
Non-relativistic three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of Poynting-flux-dominated (PFD) jets are presented. Our study focuses on the propagation of strongly magnetized hypersonic but sub-Alfv\'enic flow ($C_{\rm s}^2 << V_{\rm…
The amplitude of jet distortions and accompanying pressure and velocity fluctuations resulting from Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of three dimensional relativistic jets are explored. The effect of instability on jets as they accelerate from…
We have performed 3-D numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) jet experiments to study the instabilities associated with strongly toroidal magnetic fields and determine if such magnetic configurations in jets are as unstable as similar…
MHD jet equilibria that depend on source properties are obtained using a simplified model for stationary, axisymmetric and rotating magnetized outflows. The present rotation laws are more complex than previously considered and include a…
The stable propagation of jets in FRII sources is remarkable if one takes into account that large-scale jets are subjected to potentially highly disruptive three-dimensional (3D) Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. Numerical simulations can…
We present self-similar models of resistive viscous Keplerian disks driving non-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) jets becoming super fast-magnetosonic. We show that in order to obtain such solutions, the thermal pressure must be a…
Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations of strongly magnetized ``light'' conical jets have been performed. An investigation of the transition from sub-Alfv\'enic to super-Alfv\'enic flow has been made for nearly poloidal and for…
In this fluid dynamics video prepared for the APS-DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion we study the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability for both Newtonian and viscoelastic jets. The nonlinear dynamics of the jet motion are slowed down by orders of…
We investigate the launching and stability of extragalactic jets through nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation and linear eigenmode analysis. In the simulations of jet evolution, a small-scale equilibrium magnetic arcade is twisted…
The Kelvin-Hemholtz (K-H) instability in the corona EUV jet is studied via 2.5 MHD numerical simulations. The jet results from magnetic reconnection due to the interation of the new emerging magnetic field and the pre-existing magnetic…
The effect of optically thin radiative cooling on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of three dimensional jets is investigated via linear stability theory and nonlinear hydrodynamical simulation. Two different cooling functions are…
We have performed 2.5D and 3D simulations of conical jets driven by the rotation of an ordered, large-scale magnetic field in a stratified atmosphere. The simulations cover about three orders of magnitude in distance to capture the…
We present 2.5-dimensional time-dependent simulations of nonrelativistic and nonradiative outflows from sinusoidally perturbed Keplerian accretion disks. A sinusoidal perturbation is introduced in the velocity of the gas ejected from the…
We study the time evolution of sub-Keplerian transonic accretion flow onto a non-rotating black hole using a three-dimensional, inviscid hydrodynamics simulation code. Prior two-dimensional simulations show that centrifugal barrier in the…
The analysis of the stability properties of astrophysical jets against Kelvin-Helmholtz (or shear-layer) instabilities plays a basic role in the understanding the origin and physical characteristics of these objects. Numerical simulations…
We present numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of a magnetized accretion disk launching trans-Alfvenic jets. These simulations, performed in a 2.5 dimensional time-dependent polytropic resistive MHD framework, model a resistive…
