Abstract

We analyze closure conditions in the small initial temperature limit for classical and quantum mechanical moment hierarchies of corresponding collisionless kinetic equations. Euler equations with a nondiagonal pressure tensor are obtained in the classical case. In the quantum case we consider the cases of fixed and small (scaled) Planck constant and derive Quantum Hydrodynamic equations.
