dc.descriptionWe have investigated how varying several parameters affects the results of a collision between an extragalactic jet and a dense, intergalactic cloud, through a series of hydrodynamic simulations. We have produced synthetic radio images for comparison with observations. These show that a variety of structures may be produced from simple jet-cloud collisions. Moderate Mach numbers and density contrasts are needed to produce observable bends. We investigate the effect of viewing from various angles on the appearance of such sources.
