A thermodynamical approach to Eddington factors

Abstract: Eddington factors are a common ingredient in many techniques for solving radiation hydrodynamics problems. Usually they are introduced in a phenomenological or ad hoc manner. In this paper a fundamental approach is devised for justifying Eddington factors on the basis of mathematical requirements arising from nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

“…The reader is refered to [32][33][34] for pionner derivations of the radiative pressure law P (E, F ). Finally, c is the speed of the light, a > 0 is a given constant, ρ = ρ(T ) is the density which is supposed to be a given function, and σ e , σ a , and σ f denote the opacities mean values.…”

“…Similar theories for non-LRE, e.g. [2,10,11,12], however, do not provide a proper description of radiative processes because the variety of deviations from the equilibrium state cannot be described by the two quantities energy and momentum alone.…”

“…Approximate equations can be derived from the full transport equations by asymptotic analysis or simply by taking suitable moments and closure relations. Examples are diffusion or Rosseland equations, the P N equations, and moment equations closed by the entropy minimization principle [2,6,[8][9][10]12]. The latter have turned out to describe certain physical situations, i.e., solutions of the full transport equation, much better than diffusion-type equations (see [6,12]).…”
