ABSTRACT:
A granular member is provided in a liquid layer. The granular member is formed of a substance which does not readily dissolve in the liquid, and the granular member is desirably formed by a bubble. A location in the liquid layer different from the location at which the granular member exists is heated to thereby form a temperature distribution in the liquid layer and move the granular member to the heated location.
