Numerical Simulations of Young Stellar Jets: From One Tenth to Parsec Scales (original) (raw)

Open Issues in Local Star Formation, 2003

Abstract

We here review the structure and evolution of young stellar Herbig-Haro (HH) jets with the help of fully 3-D hydrodynamical (HD) and magneto-hydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of radiative cooling jets, giving particular emphasis to the study of giant HH flows, and the effects of magnetic fields on the general jet structure. Also, we will discuss some relevant physical processes that arise from the interaction of these jets with the interestellar environment, like the entrainment of ambient molecular gas in the jet flow, and some implications of the numerical results on observed jet phenomena and the associated central sources.
