摘要
We present a model for the large scale structure of FRII-type extragalactic radio sources. The sources are shown to grow selfsimilar and the dependence of the length of the source and the pressure inside the cocoon on the life time are calculated. The stability of the jets in such sources is investigated and the jet power at which FRII sources turn into FRIs is found to be in good agreement with observations.
