We present an explicit numerical method to handle problems in special,
relativistic hydrodynamics. This method is a special relativistic exte
nsion of a Roe solver method for nonrelativistic flow. The method is u
sed to simulate the collimation of an initially spherical outflow by a
thickened disk (i.e. collimation by inertial confinement). Previous n
onrelativistic results indicated that this is a mechanism to form jets
. Here we show that this mechanism can also generate relativistic jets
. The highest Lorentz factor achieved in these simulations is 15. We d
iscuss the differences between the relativistic and nonrelativistic fl
ow.
