Figure 1:
Evolution of the mean width of the jet/ambient mixing layer
with time for all the simulations. Different types of lines are used
for models with different internal energies: Continuous line: model
A; dotted line: model B; dashed line: model C; dashed-dotted line:
model D. Line thickness increases with Lorentz factor (from 5,
thinest line, to 20 thickest one). A value of 5![]() |

Figure 2: Evolution of the jet particle fraction showing the development of mixing in two representative models. Left column (model B05): the ambient material carves its way through the jet difficulting the advance of the jet material which is suddenly stopped. Right column (model D05): the amount of ambient matter hampering the jet material is smaller and matter from the jet at the top of the jet crests is ablated by the ambient wind. |

Pressure distribution at the onset of the jet/ambient surface
distortion at the end of the saturation phase for models A05, B05,
B10 and B20. The corresponding times are 355, 190, 370 and 765

Figure 5: Evolution of the total longitudinal momentum in the jet as a function of time for all the simulations. Lines represent the same models than in Fig. 1. The long-dashed horizontal line serves us to identify those models tranferring more than 50% of the initial jet momentum to the ambient. |

Figure 6: Evolution of the total transversal momentum in the jet as a function of time for all the simulations. Lines represent the same models than in Fig. 1. Left panel: models A05, B05, B10, C05, D05. Right panel: B20, C10, C20, D10, D20. Note the change in both horizontal and vertical scales between the two panels. |

Figure 13: Square root of the jet-to-ambient enthalpy ratio (see Paper I for definitions) versus jet Lorentz factor. Symbols represent different non-linear behaviors: crosses stand for shock disrupted jets (cold, slow jets, along with tenuous, hot, moderately fast or slow ones); diamonds for unstable, hot, fast jets; triangles for relatively stable hot, slow, and squares for stable, warm, fast, along with hot, tenuous, faster jets. |
