Recently, several groups around the world have begun to test theories of jet formation using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations (computer simulations of magnetized gas flow around black holes). While it is now generally accepted that jets, including relativistic ones, are accelerated and collimated by magnetized accretion disks, the Lorentz factors that have been achieved in these simulations still do not approach those suggested by Space VLBI observations. In this paper we discuss some of our recent simulations of MHD jet formation that indicate how highly relativistic outflows might be produced.
