Scientific paper

Aarseth's (1972, 1985) force-polynomial method for orbit integrations is presently combined with particle-particle impact calculations to ascertain the influence of a perturbing satellite on a planetary ring at isolated Lindblad resonances. By agreeing with the theoretical torque for a gravitating ring (to within 20 percent), the observed torque exchange between the satellite and the dissipative nonself-gravitating ring verifies the relative insensitivity of the angular momentum exchange to the features of the dominant physical process. The theoretically predicted, streamline-distortion-based flux-reversal phenomenon is verified.
