Abstract The mechanism whereby surface‐active agents cause stagnation in a fluid interface has been extensively studied for water flowing in a horizontal channel. Known surface‐active contaminants exhibiting varied surface behavior were added to the water. Distinctly different phenomena were observed with compressible and incompressible films.
