This gradient in the velocity profile contibutes to the force that a floc experiencing roll-up feels. Flocs actually begin to roll up when the velocity at their edge exposed to the flow exceeds some critical value, which is highly dependent on the floc's diameter, its density, and the capture velocity of the system, among other things.
