Abstract: |
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the Cauchy problem for a system of
PDEs arising in radiative hydrodynamics. This system, which comes from the so-called
equilibrium diffusion regime, is a variant of the usual Euler equations, where the energy
and pressure functionals are modified to take into account the effect of radiation and the
energy balance containing a nonlinear diffusion term acting on the temperature. The
problem is studied in the multi-dimensional framework. The authors identify the existence
of a strictly convex entropy and a stability property of the system, and check that the
Kawashima-Shizuta condition holds. Then, based on these structure properties, the wellposedness
close to a constant state can be proved by using fine energy estimates. The
asymptotic decay of the solutions are also investigated. |
