Numerical solutions of three-dimensional, time-dependent coupled hydrodynamic equations for H2O gas and dust are obtained in polar coordinates, in order to investigate the interaction between two cometary jets in the inner coma of an H2O-dominated comet; both isolated and surrounded jet cases are treated. Shock waves consisting of two shock fronts and one compressed layer that is sandwiched between the two fronts are found to be formed in the region where the two cometary jets collide laterally, in three cases: (1) the isolated case of pure H2O gas jets; (2) the surrounded case of pure H2O gas jets with weak background ejection; and (3) the isolated case of dusty H2O gas jets.
