Abstract
The analysis of the radio light curves of the blazar CTA 102 during its
2006 flare revealed a possible interaction between a standing shock wave
and a traveling one. In order to better understand this highly
non-linear process, we used a relativistic hydrodynamic code to simulate
the high energy interaction and its related emission. The calculated
synchrotron emission from these simulations showed an increase in
turnover flux density, Sm, and turnover frequency,
νm, during the interaction and decrease to its initial
values after the passage of the traveling shock wave.
