Contribution of macroscopic van der Waals interactions to friction forces

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Using an approximation linear in velocities, an expression is obtained for friction forces due to nonretarded macroscopic van der Waals interactions. These forces are generated when field drag effects by a moving medium are taken into account.
