 Material conservation of cross-helicity density

In a homentropic flow, the cross-helicity conservation law givesConsequently cross-helicity density is conserved along each trajectory exactly when the right-hand side vanishes. In a steady state, mass conservation gives $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{u}=-\mathbf{u}\cdot \nabla \log \rho$, so the criterion becomesThe absence of an entropy source in a conservation law does not alone make its density an advected scalar: compression and transport along the magnetic field still change that density.
