Uchida and Shibata have proposed the “sweeping-magnetic-twist” mechanism for the formation of astrophysical jets in relation to the accretion disks (disks around protostars, around black hole in the center of active galactic nuclei, and so on) in which a jet is accelerated by the jxB force in the relaxing magnetic twist created in the winding-up of the poloidal magnetic field by the rotation of the contracting disk (Uchida and Shibata 1985a, b; Shibata and Uchida 1986a, b; Uchida et al. 1985). In this mechanism, a jet is collimated also by the jxB force due to the large scale poloidal magnetic field whose footpoints are squeezed in the contracting disk. The main mechanism involved is different from that of centrifugal wind models (Blandford and Payne 1982, Pudritz and Norman 1983) and worked out indepentently, but the centrifugal effect itself is automatically built-in.
