Fig. 3

Comparison of the density distribution at time t = 20 for an opening angle of 0° (left – case C) and 10° (right – case E). A wider opening angle increases the width of the jet beam that stays collimated. The maximal reach of the jet beam is inversely proportional to the opening angle. The radial reach of the shock surrounding the jet remains of the same order.
