We derive analytical expressions for the velocity of an insoluble particle near an advancing solidification front when the intermolecular interactions are described by a power-law dependence between the film thickness and the undercooling. We predict that the maximum particle velocity, which corresponds to the lowest solidification velocity at which particle trapping occurs, depends inversely on the particle radius. The critical velocity is less sensitive to the temperature gradient and the precise dependence changes with different interaction types. When the critical velocity is exceeded, the particle becomes trapped within the solid region after being pushed slightly ahead of its initial position. The predicted particle displacement is typically only a fraction of the particle radius. Particle buoyancy can enhance or reduce the tendency for the particle to be captured, though it does not affect the parametric dependence of the critical velocity on the particle radius and the temperature gradient.
