AB: The dispersion of microbes or other particles of interest can be characterized by the Finite Size Lyapunov Exponent. The microbial motion can be considered as a Levy motion. A combination of theoretical and numerical results on the Finite Size Lyapunov Exponent for Levy motions from a probabilistic definition of the FSLE will be presented. Microscale and macroscale results will be discussed.
