Abstract
We present 2D hydrodynamical and emission simulations of the jet stability after the introduction of strong perturbations on a relativistic jet. These simulations show that the interaction of a single strong perturbation with the underlying jet results in the formation of multiple conical shocks wit h very specific observational properties.
