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