Abstract
In this paper, we are concerned with the non-relativistic limit of a
class of computable approximation models for radiation hydrodynamics.
The models consist of the compressible Euler equations coupled with
moment closure approximations to the radiative transfer equation. They
are first-order partial differential equations with source terms. As
hyperbolic relaxation systems, they are showed to satisfy the structural
stability condition proposed by W.-A. Yong (1999). Base on this, we
verify the non-relativistic limit by combining an energy method with a
formal asymptotic analysis.
