Random walks (together with Gaussian distribution) appeared in the theory and applications in the beginning of the twentieth century and very quickly gained the attention of the general physicsist audience. Its generalization in the forms of Lévy distribution, Lévy flights and Lévy walk was formulated inthe 1920’s and first remained only in a form of a mathematical (and rather sophisticated) problem. A lot of interesting applications started to appear in the last thirty years and one of branches of science where this phenomenon was found is turbulence in tokamak plasma.
