655+ This term has some important properties:
656+
657+ 1. It is always positive: Collisions of two species with the same
658+ temperature never leads to cooling.
659+ 2. It is Galilean invariant: Shifting both species' velocity by the
660+ same amount leaves :math: `Q_{ab,F}` unchanged.
661+ 3. If both species have the same mass, the thermal energy
662+ change due to slowing down is shared equally between them.
663+ 4. If one species is much heavier than the other, for example
664+ electron-ion collisions, the lighter species is preferentially
665+ heated. This recovers e.g. Braginskii expressions for :math: `Q_{ei}`
666+ and :math: `Q_{ie}`.
667+
668+ This can be derived by considering the exchange of energy
669+ :math: `W_{ab,F}` between two species at the same temperature but
670+ different velocities. If the pressure is evolved then it contains
671+ a term that balances the change in kinetic energy due to changes
672+ in velocity:

681+ For momentum and energy conservation we must have :math: `F_{ab}=-F_{ba}`
682+ and :math: `W_{ab,F} = -W_{ba,F}`. Comparing the above to the
683+ `Braginskii expression
684+ <https://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/plasma/lectures/node35.html> `_
685+ we see that for ion-electron collisions the term :math: `- F_{ab}u_a + W_{ab, F}`
686+ goes to zero, so :math: `W_{ab, F} \sim u_aF_{ab}` for
687+ :math: `m_a \gg m_b`. An expression that has all these desired properties
