Auxiliary material for this article contains an animation of Figure 2, showing the time evolution of the normalized magnetic field strength of Case 1 at t = 0 ~ 200. It can be seen from the movie that the perturbations grow into pairs of vortex structures with opposite vorticities at the saturation stage.
