An Analytic Model for the Motion of the Head of a Variable Jet. (2003). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 39(1), 261-266. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/2003rmxaa..39..261c

Abstract

We present a model for the motion of the head of a variable jet which conserves both mass and momentum. Our model is in principle applicable for an ejection variability of arbitrary form. However, we present full solutions for only two cases: ``sinusoidal velocity variability + constant mass loss rate'' and ``sinusoidal velocity variability + constant ejection density''.
