The flow that results from stationary supersonically converging conical streams is studied by means of two dimensional numerical calculations. Convcrgency leads to a “colimator” conical shock and this to the formation of an underexpanded hydrodynamical jet. The properties of the conical shock and of the collimated stream are summarized for a variety of initial conditions. The resultant jets are followed to large distances (≥ 7.5X1017 cm) away from the injection point, and are shown to develop a complicated structure that eventually approaches a stationary state. Stationary features such as crossing shocks are shown to evolve from working surface shocks, left behind the head of the jet to ensure self-collimation of the beam matter.
