Abstract:

I review the most recent results obtained in numerical simulations of jets from accretion disks, with specific reference to the phases of acceleration, propagation and termination. The approximations adopted, both in the physics and the numerical methods, are pointed out and possible developments are suggested.

Keywords: jets; accretion disks; active galactic nuclei; numerical simulations
