Abstract

In the present work, with the help of fully 3-D smooth particle magnetohydodynamic (SPMHD) simulations, we explore the nonlinear effects of magnetic fields (in close equipartition with the gas) in the structure of radiatively cooling, overdense jets and test their importance on the dynamics of protostellar jets.
