Scientific paper

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of fluids streaming at relativistic velocity is studied in the framework of continuous energy supply models for extended extragalactic radio-sources. The general dispersion relation is derived for beams with cylindrical symmetry and is solved for a range of combinations of the main astrophysical parameters. The final discussion shows that relativistic supersonic flows tend to be stable and allow a long term flux of energy from the parent galaxy to radio regions.
