Towards pseudo-Newtonian black hole jets: comparison of forces

Abstract

We perform resistive and viscous MHD simulations of axial jet launching from a magnetized thin accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. We compare the forces in our pseudo-Newtonian simulations for the Paczy\'nski-Wiita and Klu\'zniak-Lee potentials. The results will help to find magnetic field configurations and physical parameters conducive to jet launching.
