Evolution of the magnetised Komissarov-Torus. Top: qualitative view of the torus evolution at a resolution of \(N_{r}=N_{\theta}=400\). The spatial scale is given in units of M. Left: Initial rest-frame density distribution, center: density at \(t=200\mbox{ M}\), right: plasma β parameter at \(t=200\mbox{ M}\). Bottom: density slices through the torus at \(t=100\mbox{ M}\) for constant \(\theta=\pi/2\) (left) and \(r=5\) (right).
