Relativistic Radiative Transfer for Spherical Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new complete set of Lagrangian relativistic hydrodynamical equations describing the transfer of energy and momentum between a standard fluid and a radiation fluid in a general non-stationary spherical flow. The new set of equations has been derived for a particular application to the study of the cosmological Quark–Hadron transition but can also be used in other contexts.

Conservative special relativistic radiative transfer for multidimensional astrophysical simulations: motivation and elaboration
Many astrophysical phenomena exhibit relativistic radiative flows. While velocities in excess of v ∼ 0.1c can occur in these systems, it has been common practice to approximate radiative transfer to O(v/c). In the case of neutrino transport in core-collapse supernovae, this approximation gives rise to an inconsistency between the lepton number transfer and lab frame energy transfer, which have ...
متن کاملDynamical Comptonization in spherical flows: black hole accretion and stellar winds
The transport of photons in steady, spherical, scattering flows is investigated. The moment equations are solved analytically for accretion onto a Schwarzschild black hole, taking into full account relativistic effects. We show that the emergent radiation spectrum is a power law at high frequencies with a spectral index smaller (harder spectrum) than in the non–relativistic case. Radiative tran...
متن کاملOn the Mathematical Character of the Relativistic Transfer Moment Equations
General–relativistic, frequency–dependent radiative transfer in spherical, differentially–moving media is considered. In particular we investigate the character of the differential operator defined by the first two moment equations in the stationary case. We prove that the moment equations form a hyperbolic system when the logarithmic velocity gradient is positive, provided that a reasonable co...
متن کاملMilne-Eddington Solutions for Relativistic Plane-Parallel Flows
Radiative transfer in a relativistic plane-parallel flow, e.g., an accretion disk wind, is examined in the fully special relativistic treatment. Under the assumption of a constant flow speed, for the relativistically moving atmosphere we analytically obtain generalized Milne-Eddington solutions of radiative moment equations; the radiation energy density, the radiative flux, and the radiation pr...
متن کاملComputational Study of Radiative and Convective Heat Transfer in a Cylindrical Combustion Chamber
In this paper, the effect of cold air on the fluid flow inside the cylindrical combustion chamber and its wall temperature distribution have been studied computationally, taking into account the effect of radiative heat transfer from hot gases. The results have been compared with the case that radiative heat transfer was neglected. It is observed that the reattachment length increases when incr...
