Hydrodynamic limit and Newtonian limit from the relativistic Boltzmann equation to the classical Euler equations

Analysis of PDEs 2023-09-01 v1

Abstract

The hydrodynamic limit and Newtonian limit are important in the relativistic kinetic theory. We justify rigorously the validity of the two independent limits from the special relativistic Boltzmann equation to the classical Euler equations without assuming any dependence between the Knudsen number ε\varepsilon and the light speed c\mathfrak{c}. The convergence rates are also obtained. This is achieved by Hilbert expansion of relativistic Boltzmann equation. New difficulties arise when tacking the uniform in c\mathfrak{c} and ε\varepsilon estimates for the Hilbert expansion, which have been overcome by establishing some uniform-in-c\mathfrak{c} estimate for relativistic Boltzmann operators.
