Abstract: We study some dynamical properties of a Lorentz gas. We have considered both the static and time dependent boundary. For the static case we have shown that the system has a chaotic component characterized with a positive Lyapunov Exponent. For the time-dependent perturbation we describe the model using a four-dimensional nonlinear map. The behaviour of the average velocity is considered in two situations (i) non-dissipative and (ii) dissipative. Our results show that the unlimited energy growth is observed for the non-dissipative case. However, when dissipation, via damping coefficients, is introduced the senary changes and the unlimited engergy growth is suppressed. The behaviour of the average velocity is described using scaling approach.
