We investigate a multidimensional nonisentropic radiation hydrodynamics model We study the local existence and the convergence of the nonisentropic radiation hydrodynamics equations via the non-relativistic limit The local existence of smooth solutions to both systems is obtained For well-prepared initial data, the convergence of the limit is rigorously justified by an analysis of asymptotic expansion, an energy method, and an iterative scheme We also establish uniform a
priori estimates with respect to .
1 Introduction
In this paper, we study a system of PDEs describing radiation-driven perfect compressible flows, in particular in astrophysicscf 1 4 Assuming that the radiative temperature and the fluid temperature are equal, and that the gas is radiatively opaque so that the equilibrium diffusion will be dealt with, and the mean free path of photons is much smaller than the typical length of the flow, then, we can write the equations of radiation hydrodynamics without radiative heat diffusivity in Rd, describing the conservation of mass, momentum and energy, assee 2,3,5

i is the square of the macroscopic velocity
From 1.1 and 1.2, we see that the system includes both gas and radiative contributions to flow dynamics The quantities 1/3θ4 and θ4 represent the radiative pressure and radiative energy density, respectively To complete system 1.1, one needs
the equation of state for the pressure p pρ, θ In this paper, for the purpose of our test problems, we will limit our study to the polytropic ideal gases, namely: p Rρe γ − 1ρe with γ > 1 being the specific heat ratio and e c V θ with c V being the specific heat; we assume
c V 1 without loss of generality
We point out that if one assumes → 0 in 1.1, then system 1.1 reduces to the usual inviscid Euler equations:

which are nonisentropic and compressible Euler equations
The aim of this paper is to justify rigorously the local existence of smooth solutions of system1.1 and the convergence of system 1.1 to this formal limit equations 1.3
Concerning the non-relativistic limit c → ∞, that is, → 0, there are only partial
results Indeed, we know that the phenomenon of non-relativistic is important in many physical situations involving various nonequilibrium processes For example, important examples occur in inviscid radiation hydrodynamics6, in quantum mechanics 7, in Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system8, in Vlasov-Poisson system 9, in Euler equations 10, in Euler-Maxwell equations11,12, and so on
In this paper, we are interested in the nonrelativistic limit → 0 in the problem
1.1 for the radiation hydrodynamics equations We prove the existence of smooth solutions
to the problem 1.1 and their convergence to the solutions of the compressible and
nonisentropic Euler equations in a time interval independent of For this propose, we use
the method of iteration scheme and classical energy method The convergence of the radiation hydrodynamics equations to the compressible and nonisentropic Euler equations is achieved through the energy estimates for error equations derived from 1.1 and it’s formal limit equations1.3
The remainder of this paper is arranged as follows: In the next section, we give the local smooth solutions to both system 1.1 and 1.3 Section 3 is devoted to justify the convergence of 1.1 to 1.3 By formal analysis, we show that the leading profiles of the
density, velocity, and temperature with respect to satisfy a compressible nonisentropic
Euler equations, and their next order profiles satisfy the corresponding linearized equations
Trang 3The Cauchy problem for this nonisentropic Euler equations is solved in this section The final part is devoted to rigorously justifying the asymptotic expansion developed inSection 3and obtaining the convergence of solutions to the multidimensional compressible nonisentropic
Euler system in a time interval independent of .

whereFfk Rd f xe −ikx dx is the Fourier transform of f ∈ H sRd

2 The Local Existence
In this section, we give our main result about local existence For this purpose, we first rewrite the system1.1 as a symmetric hyperbolic system of first order Then, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for1.1
Trang 4For smooth solutions, the system1.1 can be rewritten as follows:
∂ t ρ divρu 0,
∂ tu u · ∇u Rθ ρ ∇ρ

∂ t θ u · ∇θ

In fact,2.1 is a non-relativistic, non-isotropic, and compressible Euler equations
For convenience, we introduce the following two functions:
f1
ρ, θ

2.2
Then,2.1 can be rewriten as follows:

∂ tu u · ∇u Rθ ρ ∇ρ R f1
∇θ 0,
∂ t θ u · ∇θ Rθ f2

We will study the Cauchy problem for2.5 together with the initial data

which is positive definite for j V A0V A j V are symmetric for all 1 ≤ j ≤ d.
Note that for smooth solutions,2.3 is equivalent to that of 2.5
Noticing the above facts and using the standard iteration techniques of local existence theory for symmetrizable hyperbolic systemsee 15, we have the following
Theorem 2.1 Assume that V0 ∈ H s , s > d/2 1, V0x ∈ G1, G1⊂⊂ G {V : ρ, θ ≥ C1> 0 }, and
C1is a positive constant Then there exists a time interval 0, T with T > 0, such that 2.5 and 2.6
have a unique solution V x, t ∈ C1Rd ×0, T, with V x, t ∈ G2, G2 ⊂⊂ G for x, t ∈ R d ×0, T.
Furthermore, V ∈ C0, T, H s ∩ C10, T, H s−1, and T depends on , V0 s and G1.
3 Asymptotic Analysis
3.1 Formal Asymptotic Expansions
Let ρ ,u , θ be the smooth solution to the system 2.3 In this section, we are going to study the formal expansions ofρ ,u , θ as → 0 To this end, we assume that initial data
ρ

These are nonisentropic and compressible Euler equations of ideal fluids In fact, 3.3 is equivalent to1.3

Trang 73.2 Determination of Formal Expansions
3.2.1 Preliminary
From3.4, we know that once ρ0,u0, θ0 are solved from the problem 3.3, ρ1,u1, θ1 are solutions to the following problem for a linearized equations:
∂ t ρ1 div ρ0u1 ρ1u0 0,
∂ tu1 u0· ∇ u1 u1· ∇ u0 R θ1∇ ln ρ0 θ0∇lnρ0ρ1 ∇θ1 f0

Inductively, suppose thatp k ,uk , θ kk ≤j−1 are solved already for some j ≥ 2, from 3.4, we know thatp j ,uj , θ j satisfy the following linear problem:
∂ t ρ j

3.8
Thus, in order to determine the profilesρ ,u , θ , we require to solve the nonlinear problem
3.3 for ρ0,u0, θ0 and the linear system 3.8
3.2.2 Existence and Uniqueness of Solution ρ0, u0, θ0
Obviously, 3.3 are nonisentropic and compressible Euler equations Thus, we recall the following the classical result on the existence of sufficiently regular solutions of the compressible Euler equations, see15
Trang 8Proposition 3.1 Assume that ρ0,u0, θ0 ∈ H s1∩ L∞Rd with ρ0, θ0≥ C1> 0 and s > d/2 1.
Then, there is a finite time T ∈ 0, ∞, depending on the H s and L∞norms of the initial data, such that the Cauchy problem3.3 has a unique bounded smooth solution ρ, u, θ ∈ C0, T; H s1 ∩
C10, T; H s .
3.2.3 Existence and Uniqueness of Solution ρj, uj, θj for j ≥ 1
Now, let us briefly describe the solvability ofρ j ,uj , θ j for any j ≥ 1 from the problem 3.3 and3.8 provided that we have known ρ k ,uk , θ kk ≤j−1already Thus,ρ j ,uj , θ j satisfy the following linear system:

3.10
It is not difficult to see that the system 3.9 can be rewritten as a symmetrizable hyperbolic system Thus, by the standard existence theory of local smooth solutions of symmetrizable hyperbolic equationssee 15, we have
Proposition 3.2 Let T0 ∈ 0, T, and assume that ρ j ,uj , θ j ∈ H s ∩ L∞, s > d/2 1 Then, there
exists a time interval 0, T0, such that 3.9 or 3.8 has a unique smooth solution ρ j ,uj , θ j ∈

Remark 3.3 In particular, if the initial data is C∞, the solution of 3.9 or 3.8 belongs to
C∞0, T0 × Rd
