Scientific paper

The relation of the morphological features detected in radio jets from active galactic nuclei with the development of large scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in supersonic flows is discussed. In particular, it is pointed out that, depending on the Mach number and the beam velocity, different damping processes are expected to occur which dissipate the unstable modes and saturate their nonlinear evolution. Applications of this theoretical scheme to peculiar radio jets are described.
