Abstract

We consider a problem of a 2-dimensional high-Mach-number dilute inelastic gas originating from infinity impinging on an oblique surface of infinite length. By analyzing probabilities of particle-particle collisions, we derive an analytical formula for the mean force experienced by the surface when the system is dilute. We also derive conditions for the validity of our theory.
