Caption: Figure 5.

Left panel: top view of field lines below 3 Mm for different CAs. The field of view is the same as the red rectangle in panel (a) of Figure 1. Middle panel: magnetic field at z = 1.584 Mm. The gray scale shows the strength of the vertical component of the magnetic field, and the orange streamlines show the direction and strength of the horizontal magnetic field. Right panel: velocity field at the same height, using the same representation for the flow field but with a different color map. An animation that covers the dynamic evolution of 72 minutes starting from t = t0 is available. The real-time duration is 1.3 s.
