We study the transport dynamics of momenta deposited from jets in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Assuming that the high energy partons traverse expanding quark-gluon fluids and are subject to lose their energy and momentum, we simulate di-jet asymmetric events by solving relativistic hydrodynamic equations numerically without linearization in the fully (3+1)-dimensional coordinate. Mach cones are formed and strongly broadened by radial flow of the background medium. As a result, the yield of low-$p_{T}$ particles increases at large angles from the jet axis and compensates the di-jet momentum imbalance inside the jet-cone. This provides a novel interpretation of di-jet asymmetric events observed by the CMS Collaboration.
