Helix Expansion (Li et al. 2001)
• Force-free fields expand 600 away from the axis;
• Radial expansion of outer fields are prevented by the plasma pressure.
Twist Re-distribution --- Collimation
Added twists are concentrated around the axis resulting in collimation.

Summary on Jet/Lobe Modeling Lobes are magnetically
dominated and are confined by the surrounding pressure.
Lobes form via background density/pressure changes, accompanied by flux conversion.
Helix is kink-unstable, though the overall structure is not completely destroyed.
Lobes are far from relaxation.
Why Plasma Astrophysics?Common physical processes:
dynamo (magnetic field generation) and flux-conversion dynamo ideal and resistive MHD stabilities magnetic reconnection flow generation angular momentum transport particle acceleration
Common numerical tools: ideal and resistive MHD codes PIC gyrokinetic, hybrid, etc.
