2. Effect of surface tension Capillarity breaks Archimedes’ law Two bodies of the same weight displace different amount of water depending on their material (wetting conditions) Hydrophilic particles are lighter Hydrophobic particles are heavier than displaced fluid

3. Small hydrophilic particles climb up, and hydrophobic particles slide down along inclined surface. Similar particles attract each other and form clusters. A repulsion may exist in the case of non-identical particles Cheerious effect

4. Standing wave Small amplitude wave:

31. Conclusion Small floaters are inertial → they drift and form clusters in a standing wave wetted particles form clusters in the nodes unwetted - in the antinodes clustering time is proportional to A 2 they create multi-fractal distribution in random waves.
