✦ Synopsis

The distribution of insoluble particles in liquid within a few millimetres of a solid surface has been measured. The results show that the concentration of particles near a solid interface depends on the direction and velocity of fluid flow, on the density and size of the particles, and on the orientation of the surface. Under certain conditions there is a particledeficient layer near the wall, which, in the case of a solidyfing material, means that fewer particles will be trapped by the growing front.
