We have investigated the processes of both nonrelativistic and relativistic jet-cloud collisions using a relativistic hydrodynamic simulation code. Several runs were performed to study different aspects of these kinds of collisions. Simulations show that the collisions involve two kinds of processes: reflection and bending. Collisions of relativistic jets and high-Mach-number nonrelativistic jets ...
