A key assumption is some models of radio source evolution is that the magnetic field in the hotspots is always equal to the equipartition value and that this value is proportional to the jet energy flux. This assumption is tested by following the evolution of the magnetic field in the turbulent hotspot flow via a series of three dimensional, time dependent and fully nonlinear calculations of MHD turbulence...
