The unique Galactic object SS433 contains the best-studied relativistic jets, and their physical parameters (velocity, temperature, density) are known to an astronomically unprecedented accuracy, i.e., to factors of order unity. The comparison of numerical simulations of these jets with observations provides deeper insight into the SS433/W50 system and is ideal for testing our understanding of the jet phenomenon in general.
