Scientific paper

An understanding of the physical processes by which collimated astrophysical flows lose their initial momentum and transfer mass and energy to their environment (``jet dissipation'') is perhaps the only means by which we will be able to determine the actual mass and energy fluxes contained in these outflows. This review focuses on the physics of jet dissipation and in particular on those mechanisms that appear to be universal and/or more or less inevitable in mediating jet dissipation. Both hydrodynamic and magneto-hydrodynamic processes will be discussed, including the results of non-linear time dependent calculations. The use of extant or future observational data to discriminate among dissipation processes is included.
