Abstract
In this chapter the problem of viscous friction is considered when the medium is described by a gas of free particles in the mean field approximation. We give necessary conditions on the body/medium interaction to have a microscopic model of viscous friction and, conversely, we show that the runaway particle effect takes place in the case of bounded interaction. We conclude with a heuristic analysis of the case of singular interaction.
