Abstract
When low-power laser light (<1W) is incident on saturated aqueous salt solutions, microbubbles form. Their expansion results in micro-crysta llite formation on the bubble surfaces. These micro-crystals provide c haotic advectors that can be used to track fluid trajectories, in whic h Levy flights are present in a general laminar flow. (C) 1998 Elsevie r Science B.V.
