Abstract
Supersonic jets ejected from Active Galactic Nuclei were proposed 20 years ago to explain extended radio galaxies. Today that proposal has been verified by many high angular resolution observations at radio and optical frequencies and by indirect data at X and γ rays. The interpretation of these objects requires investigations of nonlinear fluid phenomena to interpret the origin, propagation and termination of collimated outflows and their nonthermal emissivity. On the other hand the observed phenomenology requires to follow the time evolution of the relevant physical processes in physical conditions that cannot be reproduced in laboratory experiments. in these lectures a review of recent investigations on jets is presented, the results are compared with observational data and directions for future studies are indicated.
