We present the results of numerical simulations of shock wave-driven jets inthe solar atmosphere. The dependence of observable quantities like maximumvelocity and deceleration on parameters such as the period and amplitude ofinitial disturbances and the inclination of the magnetic field is investigated.Our simulations show excellent agreement with observations, and shed new lighton the correlation between velocity and deceleration and on the regionaldifferences found in observations.Comment: 7 pages, 11 figures, submitted to Ap
