Each particle is assumed to be affected by forces due to other particles, a drag force proportional to the velocity of the particle relative to the local velocity of the fluid and a fluctuating random noise. The effect of the particles on the velocity field of the host liquid is neglected. The problem is treated within the RPA approximation which is a widely used tool in many body theory. The validity of the RPA result is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-04-22T14:16:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "structure factor", "rpa calculation", "host liquid", "drag force proportional", "local velocity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
