Monte Carlo Simulation of Brownian Motion with Viscous Drag

Gunther, L.; Weaver, D. L.

American Journal of Physics, 46, 5, 543-5, May 78

A model of Brownian motion is discussed which includes viscosity effects. The model lends itself to Monte Carlo simulation and thus is suitable for an elementary physics laboratory experiment. (BB)
