In thermal equilibrium, a colloidal particle between two parallel plates\nimmersed in a fluid which partially wets both the particle and the plates, is\nattracted by the walls. However, if the particle moves parallel to the plates,\na hydrodynamic lift force away from the plates arises in the limit of low\nReynolds number. We study theoretically the competition of these two effects\nand identify the range of velocity in which the velocity may serve as a\nparameter controlling the adsorption in microflows.\n
