The smoothness of the jets. The jet energy fraction (Ejet/Etot) diagnosed in the simulations is compared with predictions from Equation (3). Results are shown for the equilibrium state simulations with higher energy injection rates and damping rates (ε = 5 × 10−7, 2.9 × 10−8, 1.7 × 10−9, and 10−10; μ = 5 × 10−5 and 10−4), as simulations with lower injection and damping rates have not reached full equilibrium. The black line represents a linear fit.
