Scientific paper

A general formulation is given for determining the internal structure and stability of extragalactic jets confined by external pressure. Solutions are found for the jet cross-sectional shape and internal pressure distribution for high Mach number flows. With rapidly decreasing external pressures, a circular jet is found to be stable. A circular jet is found to become unstable and its cross-section to flatten with increasing jet-path length when the rate of decrease of external pressure is sufficiently slow. This global instability will lead to jet splitting and breakup.
