The Serpens (``triple source'') radio continuum jet shows a series of aligned knots with ≃1-2'' angular separations, forming a curved structure circumscribed within a cone of ∼10° full opening angle. We present a high resolution, 3D numerical simulation of a jet with variable ejection direction and velocity with parameters appropriate for the Serpens jet, from which we obtain predictions of 3.6 cm radio continuum maps. We find that the general morphology of the radio emission, and the time evolution of the successive knots, qualitatively agree with 3.6 cm VLA observations of the Serpens radio jet.
