Global existence of smooth solutions for the diffusion approximation model of general gas in radiation hydrodynamics (Q6063329): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the 3D diffusion approximation model in radiation thermodynamics. The governing equations are conservation laws for density, velocity, temperature of the fluid and for the radiation. The equation for the latter is of diffusion type, with black-body emitting source and linear sink due to absorption. Initial data have finite positive limits at infinity (as \(|x|\to\infty\)). The gas state is more general than the ideal polytropic gas. The authors prove global existence of the unique solution to the Cauchy problem in a Sobolev space. The decay rate is estimated as well.
