Scientific paper

We performed high-resolution three dimensional numerical simulations of relativistic MHD jets carrying an initially toroidal magnetic field responsible for the process of jet acceleration and collimation. We find that in the 3D case the toroidal field gives rise to strong current driven kink instabilities leading to jet wiggling. However, it appears to be able to maintain an highly relativistic spine along its full length.
