Possibilities
- Leakage scheme
- very ad-hoc
- only mimicks loss due to radiation
- Diffusion equation
- accurate only when mean free path is really short
- almost always implicit to avoid strong CFL limit
- cheap, usually inaccurate
- Flux limited diffusion
- Diffusion + "trick" at lower optical depths
- also simple, and has been used for supernovae simulations
- unclear if working in GR
- limits radiation speed: ad-hoc
- also not very accurate
- Two-Moment-Scheme / Truncated moment
- Start with Boltzmann equation
- Decompose into moments
- Truncate series
- close using some prescription
