Abstract
In the previous chapters we have analysed the observations of the blazar CTA 102 and obtained physical parameters such as the bulk Lorentz factor and the intensity of the magnetic field. Based on the observations, we suggested the interaction between a travelling shock and a recollimation shock as physical process behind the 2006 flare in CTA 102. However, observationally there are two limitations which do not allow us to further investigations (i) the angular resolution and (ii) the sparse time sampling of the observations.

Notes
- 1.
In the RHD code, the sound speed is set in terms of the Mach number and the fluid velocity.
- 2.
We obtained a steady state jet after one week using 16 processors.
- 3.
In Chap. 2 we used an approximation of the emission and absorption coefficients assuming \(\gamma _\mathrm {min}=1\) and \(\gamma _\mathrm {max}=\infty \).
