Conserving Local Magnetic Helicity in Numerical Simulations

Magnetic helicity is robustly conserved in systems with very large magnetic Reynolds numbers, including most systems of astrophysical interest, and unlike kinetic and magnetic energy, it is not dissipated at small scales. This plays a major role in suppressing the kinematic large-scale dynamo and ma...
