  Jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the cores of galaxy clusters have
the potential to be a major contributor to the energy budget of the
intracluster medium (ICM). To study the dependence of the interaction between
the AGN jets and the ICM on the parameters of the jets themselves, we present a
parameter survey of two-dimensional (axisymmetric) ideal hydrodynamic models of
back-to-back jets injected into a cluster atmosphere (with varying Mach numbers
and kinetic luminosities). We follow the passive evolution of the resulting
structures for several times longer than the active lifetime of the jet. The
simulations fall into roughly two classes, cocoon-bounded and non-cocoon
bounded sources. We suggest a correspondence between these two classes and the
Faranoff-Riley types. We find that the cocoon-bounded sources inject
significantly more entropy into the core regions of the ICM atmosphere, even
though the efficiency with which energy is thermalized is independent of the
morphological class. In all cases, a large fraction (50--80%) of the energy
injected by the jet ends up as gravitational potential energy due to the
expansion of the atmosphere.
