| contents | <p>The internal dynamics of relativistic AGN jets play a critical role in shaping their observed emission and<br>long-term evolution. This work investigates the development of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities in jets,<br>focusing on regions downstream of recollimation shocks. These shocks are natural sites for energy<br>dissipation and may seed turbulence that facilitates particle acceleration. Using high-resolution 2D and 3D<br>relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations performed with the PLUTO code, we analyze how<br>jet structure and magnetic field topology influence the growth of instabilities and the resulting dynamics. Our<br>results provide insights into how jets remain stable, transition to turbulence, or become efficient emitters of<br>non-thermal radiation.</p> |
