Abstract
Using the classical dipole representation for the gas molecules, an approximate kinetic equation is derived including radiation pressure forces. The energy-momentum tensor for a quasimonochromatic electromagnetic wave packet is constructed. Electrostrictive forces and nonlinear perturbations of the gas rest energy density are taken into account. Certain particle-like properties of the wave packet are demonstrated. Radiation pressure forces are given for some simple models of fluid inhomogeneities.
