Clustering of dust particles on water surface

In this work we use molecular dynamics simulation to study the clustering of dust particles deposited on a liquid surface. Our results are compatible with the picture that one particle attracts another due to the deformation of the liquid medium which creates an attractive potential around the deposited particle. The similarity to other physical phenomena is discussed.
