Time-averaged dimensionless turbulent stresses (Eqs. (8) and (9)) as function of the volume and time-averaged Toomre parameter ⟨⟨Q⟩⟩t. Each data point corresponds to one simulation. The black stars show the sum total of Reynolds and gravitational stress α = αr + αg for the hydrodynamical simulations (GI058, GI072, GI087, GI095). The corresponding contributions from the gravitational stress αg are hown as red dots. Depicted as black diamonds and red crosses are α and αg for the MHD simulations sg-mhd-1 and sg-mhd-2 (discussed in the following sections). In MHD cases, one has α = αr + αg + αm, with Maxwell contribution αm. The red dashed line is a guide to the eye (linear fit) for the trend in αg.
