Spanish abstract En este articulo se resume la fisica conocida sobre los chorros turbulentos observados en experimentos de laboratorio. La formula para la potencia liberada como turbulencia describe la concentraci on turbulencia/part culas relativistas en cada punto del chorro astrof sico. Se usa la misma expresi on para analizar la po- tencia liberada como turbulencia para u dos de tubo y no-newtonianos. Mediante una operaci on integral es posible deducir la intensidad de la radiaci on sincrotr onica para un per l perpendicular (o no) a un chorro recto, obtener un mapa 2D para un chorro perpendicular de orientaci on arbitraria, as como mapas 2D para trayecto- rias complejas como es el caso de NGC 4061 y 3C31. Se presenta una simulaci on del ndice espectral del brillo para 3C273, as como un mapa 2D del grado de po-larizacion lineal. Se aplica el operador Sobel a los mapas 2D te oricos para chorros rectos perpendiculares
English abstract This paper summarizes the known physics of turbulent jets observed in lab- oratory experiments. The formula, which gives the power released in turbulence describes the concentration of turbulence/relativistic particles in each point of the astrophysical jets. The same expression is also used to analyze the power released in turbulence in the case of pipe and non-Newtonian uids. Through an integral operation it is possible to deduce the intensity of synchrotron radiation for a pro le perpendicular (or not) to a straight jet, a 2D map for a perpendicular, randomly oriented straight jet, as well as a 2D map of complex trajectories such as NCC 4061 and 3C31. Presented here is a simulation of the spectral index in brightness of 3C273 as well as a 2D map of the degree of linear polarization. The Sobel operator is applied to the theoretical 2D maps of straight perpendicular jets
