Caption: Figure 21.

Final (t/t_g = 12,000) snapshots of two different initial conditions (the black hope spin a = 0.9 is fixed); β_p0,min = 50 (top) and β_p0,min = 500 (bottom). Color-filled contours show the magnetic energy per unit particle b²/ρ (left), the magnitude of the outgoing radial mass flux density (middle), and the Lorentz factor Γ (right). Readers can refer to Figures 8, 11, and 12 (a = 0.9) for comparison.
