Abstract
This contribution investigates the characteristic reduction of the particle velocity with respect to the velocity profile of a pure liquid (water) in a pressure driven flow (PDF). It is shown by simulations and experiments that particles are slowed down once their local perturbation "cloud" of the velocity field hits the wall. We show that this effect scales with the ratio of the distance of sphere's surface from the wall, a, and the radius, a, of the sphere, i.e. delta/a.
