Abstract We present a second‐order BGK scheme for the equations of multidimensional radiation hydrodynamics (RHE) in zero diffusion limit by using the generalized Maxwellian ( Comput. Fluids 2000; 29 :917–933) and the second‐order BGK scheme for the Euler equations ( J. Comput. Phys. 1993; 109 :53–66; Gas Kinetic Scheme for Unsteady Compressible Flow Simulations . Lecture Note Series 1998‐03. Von Kárman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, 1998). This extends a (first‐order) kinetic flux vector splitting scheme (KFVS) for RHE (Tang and Wu (2000)) to a second‐order BGK scheme. Several one‐ and two‐dimensional numerical examples demonstrate improvement of the scheme in accuracy and resolution compared with the KFVS scheme (Tang and Wu (2000)) and the first‐order BGK scheme.
