Abstract

A theory for the interaction of a neutral gas with a moving magnetized plasma is given. The Alfvén expression for the critical velocity is identified with that for the terminal velocity while another expression for the threshold velocity for interaction is given. The implications of these results to the Alfvén-Arrhenius model for the solar system are discussed.
