Morphological variations (2D slices) resulting from varying jet propagation angles relative to the ambient medium’s axes (1st col.: _maj5, 2nd col.: _intm40, 3rd col.: _min85) and different jet magnetic field strengths (top row: ‘lowB’, bottom row: ‘highB’). The generated structures include an X-shaped radio galaxy (dynamical age: 7.2 Myr), a double-boomerang morphology (dynamical age: 5.2 Myr), and a classical double-lobed radio galaxy (dynamical age: 3.9 Myr), from left to right respectively. The simulations show that while magnetic fields minimally influence large-scale dynamics in these early stages, they play a crucial role in internal processes such as instabilities leading to jet bending and reduction in lateral expansion of the lobes. We note that the jet propagation axis is fixed along the y-axis for all these cases. The color scales have been normalized with respect to ρ0 (1 amu/cc).
