We discuss some aspects of the evolution of the relative velocities of a swarm of planetesimals stirred by a protoplanet. We show that the prescriptions most commonly used in semi-analytical ‘oligarchic growth’ models overestimate the relative velocities of planetesimals by a nonnegligible factor. We discuss the probable origin of this discrepancy, proposing a correction factor that provides good agreement between these prescriptions and the results of numerical experiments. The proposed correction factor can be easily implemented in semi-analytical accretion modelsFil: Brunini, Adrian. Universidad Nacional de La Plata.
