Abstract
We have performed a first fully 3-D GRMHD simulation with Schwarzschild black hole with a free falling corona. The initial simulation results show that a jet is created as in previous axisymmetric simulations. However, the time to generate the jet is longer than in the 2-D simulations. We expect that due to the additional azimuthal dimension the dynamics of jet formation can be modified.
