Abstract

Recent efforts to simulate synchrotron emission images of extragalactic radio jets are reviewed. As significant progress has been achieved in comparing numerical simulations with radio images of astrophysical jets it is no longer necessary to compare density slices through an axisymmetric jet simulation with observed Stokes I images. It is shown that with the advent of MHD codes and modern supercomputers, models can now be constrained by all four Stokes parameters.
