Abstract
Drift wave vortices in a cylindrical plasma is studied based on the mo dulated point vortex model for the Hasegawa-Mima equation. Various typ es of interactions are revealed such as exchange scattering, trapping, and detrapping, which sometimes bring about a long-distance radial ex cursion, resulting in an enhancement of transport.
