Fig. 3

Phase-space distributions of the three orbit classes distinguished by the black (non-crossing), red (double-well), and blue (single-well) colors in a \(\left(\bar{x},{\bar{v}}_{x}\right)\), b \(\left(\bar{x},{\bar{v}}_{y}\right)\), and c \(\left(\bar{x},{\bar{v}}_{z}\right)\) spaces for uniform bg = 0.15. Current density components d \({\bar{J}}_{x}\), e\({\bar{J}}_{y}\), and f \({\bar{J}}_{z}\), and diagonal components of the temperature tensor g \({\bar{T}}_{xx}\), h \({\bar{T}}_{yy}\), and i \({\bar{T}}_{zz}\) of the three orbit classes.
