Electrostatic helicity injection involves the injection of new azimuthal magnetic flux to link the existing axial flux of an open magnetic field. Since magnetic flux is frozen into plasma, this injection of new flux requires the injection of new plasma as well. This associated plasma injection means that helicity injection involves an increase of the density in the flux tube comprised by the initial...
