A common approach to interpret the ‘jet phenomenon’ observed in active galactic nuclei and young stellar objects is via magnetohydrodynamic models of collimated outflows magnetically driven from quasi-Keplerian accretion discs in the proximity of a central gravitational attractor. In this study we present a series of time-dependent axisymmetric numerical simulations of a jet-launching accretion di...
