Abstract
AbstractA theory of the drag force acting on an object immersed in a flowing plasma is presented. A control surface method is developed following the approach used in fluid mechanics rather than the linear dielectric response approach found in the literature. The situation examined is one in which the directed velocity of the ions dominates their thermal velocities; a cold ion model is employed.
