Abstract

The force on a charged test particle embedded in a flowing (electron-ion) plasma is calculated using the linear dielectric response formalism. This approach allows us to take into account ion-neutral collisions self-consistently. The effect of collisions on the ion drag force is analyzed. It is shown that collisions can play a major role and can enhance the force substantially.
