Scientific paper

An approach to deal with the limit of geometrical optics of electromagnetic waves which propagate in moving nonlinear local dielectric media in the context of Maxwellian electrodynamics is here developed in order to apply to quite general material media. Fresnel equations for the light rays are generically found, and its solutions are intrinsically obtained. The multi-refringence problem is addressed, and no more than four monochromatic polarization modes are found to propagate there. This work does not provide an analog model of General Relativity, but instead relies in the fundamentals for an analog model to be built in geometrical optics.
