Summary

The interaction of human erythrocytes in suspension with a planar ice-liquid interface was investigated. Due to a repulsive Van der Waals force repelling the cells from the crystal and an attractive force resulting from the viscous drag of melt flow around the cell, a velocity was determined, below which the cell is pushed by the growing crystal, and above which it is entrapped by the solid phase.
