Why does dust stick to the fan blades just downstream of the rivet heads, forming a comet-tail like effect?

It is an area of turbulence, into which air is drawn by lower pressure.
Velocity may increase, but in a chaotic way and in circular trajectories.
Same should happen over the thick trailing edge of each wood or plastic blade.

Recessed rivets are more expensive, but those make top speed increase and fuel consumption decrease.
