Abstract: Among the extragalactic radio sources there are objects with unusual morphologies. We investigate the possibility that the propagation of jets in a stratified distribution of density may produce such effects. A numerical setup was devised and hydrodynamical 2D and 3D simulations were performed using the PLUTO code. We conducted a parametric study regarding the dependence of the morphologies on the relative orientation of the mass distribution and the jets. Aspects on emission estimations from such simulations will be approached.
