Schematic representation of the jet-environment interaction framework developed to investigate the influence of factors on the development of GRGs. The setup simulates a one-sided relativistic jet propagating up to ∼700 kpc through a stratified medium representing a galaxy-group environment, capturing the varying influence of the environment on the jet’s motion. We also used two different jet powers to mimic Fanaroff-Riley type I and II jets, allowing us to examine the role of the jet’s primary thrust in the development of such radio galaxies. This parameter space yields a total of five simulation scenarios, discussed in detail in Paper I and also concisely in Section 2.1.
