Summary

Recent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are presented investigating the launching of jets from accretion disks, that is (i) the internal disk structural evolution that leads to different launching conditions over time, (ii) a new, fundamental interrelation between the disk magnetization at the launching point and the asymptotic outflow properties, (iii) the launching of jets driven by a self-generated disk dynamo magnetic field, and (iv) simulations of jets from orbiting jet sources.
