Histograms with velocities (in the x-axis) and the ratio between the total mass of C IV, MCIV, and the initial cloud mass, Mcloud, 0 (in the y-axis), at the same times as in Fig. 5, t/tcc = 0.2 (circles), 0.9 (triangles), 1.7 (stars), and 2.5 (diamonds). We show in blue (left panel) the results from the simulation R32-AL and in red (right panel) the results from R32-TR. The dashed grey line refers to the R32-HD at t/tcc = 1.7. We highlight that C IV covers higher mass fractions than C II and O VI (Figs. 4 and 8, respectively). Also, for t/tcc ≥ 1.7, model R32-TR shows larger mass fractions of C IV at velocities > 200 km s−1 than model R32-AL, indicating a transverse magnetic field favours a more kinematically rich intermediate phase than an aligned field.
