Fig. 2

The distribution of the vertical travel distance of microplastic particles relative to the travel distance of the bubble. In this simulation, particles do not stick to the bubble. The vast majority of values are around 0 (logarithmic scale), but the distribution clearly is asymmetric towards positive distances, indicating particle entrainment as a consequence of non-laminar flow
