Abstract
We consider the alteration of the normal Brownian motion of a seed particle brought about by the enhanced velocity fluctuations that exist near the threshold of a hydrodynamic instability. We utilize our results to quantitatively predict the fluctuation induced effects for the threshold region of the Bénard convective instability.
