Turbulent magnetic pumping is an effective transport of the mean magnetic field produced by correlations in inhomogeneous or anisotropic turbulence. Its contribution to the mean-field electromotive force is . In the mean induction equation this enters as , the same algebraic form as advection by a velocity . Thus it supplements the mean material velocity without requiring an equal mean mass flow. Downward pumping can help retain or couple fields in a solar dynamo.
