A set of simulations concerning the influence of internal energy on the
stability of relativistic jets is presented. Results show that perturbations
saturate when the amplitude of the velocity perturbation approaches the speed
of light limit. Also, contrary to what predicted by linear stability theory,
jets with higher specific internal energy appear to be more stable.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. To be published in proceedings of the V
