All Tables

Table 1: Parameters of the seven simulations performed: Mach number M, density ratio $\nu =\rho _{\rm j}/\rho (0)$ , kinetic jet power $L_{\rm j}/L_{\rm k}=M^3\nu$ and final time of the simulation $\tau _{\rm fin}=t_{\rm fin}/t_0$ .
Table 2: The table shows the exponent $\alpha$ of the fitted power laws $\tau ^\alpha$ for the quantities $l_{\rm c}$ (cocoon length), $r_{\rm e}$ (extended cocoon radius) and $r_{\rm i}$ (internal cocoon radius). The left column refers to the initial phase of the evolution of the cocoon ( $l_{\rm c} <1.0$ ) while the second one to the advanced one ( $l_{\rm c} >1.5$ )
Table 3: Values of the quantity $(P_{\rm c} - P^*)/P^*$ for the different simulations evaluated at a cocoon length $l_{\rm c} = 0.3$ .
