A study on the turbulent transport of an advective nature in the fluid   plasma
  Advective nature of the electrostatic turbulent flux of plasma energy is studied numerically in a nearly adiabatic state. Such a state is represented by the Hasegawa-Mima equation that is driven by a noise that may model the destabilization due to the phase mismatch of the plasma density and the electric potential. The noise is assumed to be Gaussian and not to be invariant under reflection along a direction $\hat s$. It is found that the flux density induced by such noise is anisotropic: While it is random along $\hat s$, it is not along the perpendicular direction ${\hat s}_\perp$ and the flux is not diffusive. The renormalized response may be approximated as advective with the velocity being proportional to $(k\rho_s)^2$ in the Fourier space $\vec k$.
