The influence of the perturbing satellite on the planetary ring at isolated Lindblad resonances is studied with numerical computer simulations, combining the Aarseth's force polynomial method for orbit integrations with the calculation of particle-particle impacts. Observed angular momentum exchange between the satellite and the dissipative, non-selfgravitating ring agrees with the Goldreich-Tremaine formula for gravitating ring within 20%, verifying that the exerted torque is not sensitive to the details of the dominant physical processes. The theoretically predicted angular momentum luminosity reversal was also observed.
