The study of the chaotic properties of some complex systems has been largely developed from the technological advancement provided by computers. Among these systems, we can highlight the billiards, which, due to their simplicity and enormous applicability, they have stood out among the other models. In this work, we study the properties of some billiards, when subject to the action of an external field. Here the external field is represented by a velocity field, wich is obtained from the flow of a fluid. Such fluid exerts a drag force on the particle bounded by the boundary defining the billiard. In contrast to the other works done with billiards, we propose a totally numerical approach, taking into account several factors that could exercise influence on the particle dynamics, such as the elastic force that the particle suffers when it collides with the boundary, the outflow regime of the fluid, and the drag effect on the trajectory of the particle, caused by a force that is proportional to a potential of the velocity in the form F / vγ. From this approach we could observe a decay on the energy of the particle, which occurred in a linear form (γ = 1.0), polynomial of the second degree (γ = 1.5) and exponential (γ = 2.0). Moreover, as we analyzed the phase space of the systems (billiards), the effect of the dissipation parameter contributed to the emerging of a sea of chaos in some cases, and also to the appearance of an attractor, whose effect also originates from the action of the external field.
