Scientific paper

We present an explicit numerical method to handle problems in special relativistic hydrodynamics. This method is a special relativistic extension of a Roe solver method for nonrelativistic flow. The method is used to simulate the collimation of an initially spherical outflow by a thickened disk (i.e. collimation by inertial confinement). Previous nonrelativistic results indicated that this is a mechanism to form jets. Here we show that this mechanism can also generate relativistic jets The highest Lorentz factor achieved in thse simulations is 15. We discuss the differences between the relativistic and nonrelativistic flow.
