We show one of possible directions of general relativistic MHD (GRMHD) calculations of astrophysical relativistic jet formation. This was motivated by observations of radio knot ejections associated with high energy flares of an AGN in M87 and micro-quasars. We introduce a modified version of a solar flare model for the phenomenon. In the model, we have to consider a process beyond the ideal GRMHD. Especially, we focus on the special features of general relativistic plasmas around rotating black holes.
