Abstract

We investigate the launching process of jets from accretion disks by means of axisymmetric MHD simulations. Here, we present results of numerical MHD simulations investigating how magnetic diffusivity and numerical resolution may affect the ejection-to-accretion fraction and the asymptotic outflow structure.
