25. Note that our helicity flux is distinct from that discussed by Kleeorin and coworkers [9]. In [14] a flux proportional to the anisotropic part of the α tensor was derived However, its subsequent use in [9] involved adopting a phenomenological term proportional to the mean-field; such a term should have arisen automatically in our treatment.
