Abstract
A fluid model of the jets in Fanaroff-Riley I class, for extended extragalactic radio sources, based on the idea that they are turbulent low Mach number supersonic flows consisting of relativistic and nonrelativistic plasma, has been developed. Mean flow approach and modified mixing length theory by Prandtl are used to obtain a corresponding mathematical tool. It is assumed that magnetic field is weak. Boundary conditions concerned the problem of the jet propagation through a non-uniform atmospheres of an elliptical galaxies are considered. Short discussion of the observational data determining the choice of the input parameters of the jets is given.
