摘要：

Diffusion equations for two components are set up with mutual drag terms included. It is found that these terms become important when the flux of an escaping gas is of the order of its diffusion limit. In this situation, other gases can be dragged along (blowoff) and both scale heights tend towards equality which may occur on Io. Future aeronomical studies of this atmosphere should include the drag terms in the diffusion equations. Refs.
