We perform a statistical analysis to study the infall of galaxies onto groups and clusters in the nearby Universe. The study is based on the UZC/SSRS2 group catalogs and galaxy peculiar velocity data. We find a clear signature of infall of galaxies onto groups in a large range of scales 5 Mpc h$^{-1} < r < 30$ Mpc h$^{-1}$. We obtain a significant increase of the infall amplitude with group mass derived from virial equilibrium and from the luminosity of the member galaxies. We compare the observational results with mock catalogs derived from numerical simulations of semi-analytical models where we obtain a behavior similar to observations.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
