Abstract
Recently the unified nonlinear transport theory has been developed providing a description of particle diffusion across the mean magnetic field as well as field line random walk. The latter theory was positively tested by comparing it with numerical test particle simulations performed for a two component model of magnetic turbulence. However, it was not clear how reliable the theory is for other models. It is the purpose of the present article to test the theory discussed here for a full three-dimensional magnetic correlation tensor based on the Goldreich-Sridhar model.
