Abstract
We derive the total helicity conservation law for a perfect electromagnetic relativistic fluid. As the conservation equation contains the derivative of the magnetic helicity, it can be reshaped as having the same form as the chiral anomaly equation if the fluid is isentropic. We also take the non-relativistic limit of the helicity conservation law, and check the agreement with the Abanov-Wiegmann equation at zero temperature, but we provide further corrections in the more general case. We then consider chiral fluids, when the chiral anomaly equation has to be incorporated in the hydrodynamical equations, together with other chiral transport effects which exist in the presence of a chiral imbalance. We finally study how the chiral imbalance modifies the helicity conservation law.
