Snapshots of the velocity fluctuations in the x-direction vx (top row) and bxv (bottom row) during the transition phase. The contour lines of the magnetic flux near the resonant surface represent the magnetic field lines or corresponding magnetic island. In this case, the resistivity is set to η = 1.1 × 10−4.
