Figure 5

Schematic illustration of the angle-dependent viscous forces acting on a particle close to the wall (a) and the particle interaction potential with kon and koff the natural rate of agglomeration and detachment and Eon and Eoff the corresponding energy barriers. (c) a zoomed-in, time series of a clog forming at a single constriction, with flow from left to right.
