On the motion of a convex body interacting with a perfect gas in the mean-field approximation

We consider a convex body in R^3, moving along the x-axis, immersed in an infinitely extended perfect gas in the mean-field approximation. We assume that the gas particles interact with the body by means of elastic collisions. Giving to the body an initial velocity V_0, we prove that, for |V_0| sm...
