In this chapter we study the problem of viscous friction in the framework of microscopic models of classical point particles. The system body/medium is modeled by the dynamics of a heavy particle (the body), subjected to a constant force and interacting with infinitely many identical particles (the medium). We discuss conditions on the body/medium interaction that are necessary for the body to reach a finite limiting velocity. Rigorous results are given in the case of quasi-one-dimensional and one-dimensional systems.

Abstract
In this chapter we study the problem of viscous friction in the framework of microscopic models of classical point particles. The system body/medium is modeled by the dynamics of a heavy particle (the body), subjected to a constant force and interacting with infinitely many identical particles (the medium). We discuss conditions on the body/medium interaction that are necessary for the body to reach a finite limiting velocity. Rigorous results are given in the case of quasi-one-dimensional and one-dimensional systems.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
