Several galaxy clusters are known to present multiple and misaligned pairs ofcavities seen in X-rays, as well as twisted kiloparsec-scale jets at radiowavelengths. It suggests that the AGN precessing jets play a role in theformation of the misaligned bubbles. Also, X-ray spectra reveal that typicallythese systems are also able to supress cooling flows, predicted theoretically.The absence of cooling flows in galaxy clusters has been a mistery for manyyears since numerical simulations and analytical studies suggest that AGN jetsare highly energetic, but are unable to redistribute it at all directions. Weperformed 3D hydrodynamical simulations of the interaction between a precessingAGN jet and the warm intracluster medium plasma, which dynamics is coupled to aNFW dark matter gravitational potential. Radiative cooling has been taken intoaccount and the cooling flow problem was studied. We found that precession isresponsible for multiple pairs of bubbles, as observed. The misaligned bubblesrise up to scales of tens of kiloparsecs, where the thermal energy released bythe jets are redistributed. After $\sim 150$ Myrs, the temperature of the gaswithin the cavities is kept of order of $\sim 10^7$ K, while the denser plasmaof the intracluster medium at the central regions reaches $T \sim 10^5$ K. Theexistence of multiple bubbles, at diferent directions, result in an integratedtemperature along the line of sight much larger than the simulations ofnon-precessing jets. This result is in agreement with the observations. Thesimulations reveal that the cooling flows cessed $\sim 50 - 70$ Myr after theAGN jets are started.
