Abstract
Since jets are collimated flows of relativistic particles, it is necessary to introduce the basic concepts of relativistic hydrodynamics. We will study the jet evolution far from the formation region. Thus, we use the equations of special-relativistic hydrodynamics. The two basic equations in special relativistic hydrodynamics are the conservation of mass and the energy-momentum.
