The gradient induces an asymmetry of the spreading velocity and a drift of the center of mass towards the direction where the viscosity is decreasing. Due to this phenomenon, adjacent asperites in the friction zone between two solids sliding over each other experience an effective attraction.DFG, SFB 605, Elementarreibereigniss
