Dynamics and ordering of weakly Brownian particles in directional drying [PDF]
, 2017 Drying of particle suspensions is an ubiquitous phenomenon with many natural and practical applications. In particular, in unidirectional drying, the evaporation of the solvent induces flows which accumulate particles at the liquid/air interface.
