Caption: Figure 12.

Color-filled contour of the Lorentz factor Γ (only where ﹩{u}^{r}\gt 0﹩) for four different runs with different BH spins (from left to right: a = 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 0.99). The final snapshot (t/tg = 12,000) is displayed for each run with the whole computational domain ﹩r/{r}_{{\rm{g}}}\leqslant 100﹩ and 0 ≤ θ ≤ π. Green solid lines show βp = 1 (in the fluid frame). Other components in the panels are identical to those in Figure 8.
