13 Summary. In this presentation, we have shown the drift wave zonal flow turbulence in a cylindrical laboratory plasma. 2. Linear dispersion relations of observed fluctuations are consistent with the zonal flow (potential and poloidal velocity fluctuation) or the drift-wave. 3. Modulation of the drift wave amplitude by the zonal flow was confirmed. 4. The bispectral analysis of <E θ E r Φ f > shows significant nonlinear energy transfers between the zonal flow and the drift wave spectrum.
