We have performed a 2.5D, nonsteady, general-relativistic MHD simulation. Initially, we assumed a uniform magnetic field, a geometrically thin accretion disk rotating at Keplerian velocity, and a hydrostatic corona around a Schwarzschild black hole. We have investigated the formation mechanism of gas-pressure driven jets expected by Koide et al. and found the strong dependence of jet velocities Lorentz factor of jets) on the ratio of the density of the accretion disk to that of the corona (ρdc), where γ2j - γj ∝ (ρdc)0.75.
