Description:
The paper presents a series of incompressible two-dimensional simulations of driven/dissipative MHD turbulence where the amount of correlation between the kinetic and magnetic forcing is regulated, thereby controlling the amount of cross helicity injection. It is shown that correlated forcing provides a strong source of magnetofluid cross helicity. The clear appearance of the 'minority species effect,' which is the most striking and systematic effect during this driven dynamic alignment process, is discussed.
