Closure in flux-limited neutrino diffusion and two-moment transport
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-dimensional maximum entropy closure and various standard one-dimensional closures in flux-limited neutrino diffusion and two-moment transport are compared against direct numerical solutions of the neutrino Boltzmann equation. The approximate transport based on particular closures of the moment equations is rated by testing so-called weak equivalence of the first three moments of the neutrino radiation field. Additionally we consider strong equivalence of the maximum entropy angular model distribution. Our calculations are performed on two different matter backgrounds and involve several neutrino energies. As an alternative multiple energy test we look at the behavior of spectral and energy-averaged Eddington factors. Among the closures considered, two-dimensional maximum entropy closure is found to overall approximate most closely the full transport solutions.

متن کاملA Comparison of Boltzmann and Multigroup Flux-Limited Diffusion Neutrino Transport During the Postbounce Shock Reheating Phase in Core Collapse Supernovae
We compare Newtonian three-flavor multigroup Boltzmann (MGBT) and (Bruenn’s) multigroup flux-limited diffusion (MGFLD) neutrino transport in postbounce core collapse supernova environments. We focus our study on quantities central to the postbounce neutrino heating mechanism for reviving the stalled shock. Stationary–state three–flavor neutrino distributions are developed in thermally and hydro...

Current supernova modeling revolves around the idea that the stalled supernova shock is reenergized by absorption of electron neutrinos and antineutrinos on the shock-liberated nucleons behind it. Key to this process is the neutrino transport in the critical semitransparent region encompassing the neutrinospheres. Potentially aiding this process is convection below the neutrinospheres and the s...

Transport equations are intensively used in Mathematical Biology. In this article the moment closure for transport equations for an arbitrary finite number of moments is presented. With use of a variational principle the closure can be obtained by minimizing the L(V )-norm with constraints. An H-Theorem for the negative L-norm is shown and the existence of Lagrange multipliers is proven. The Ca...
