QUASI-NEUTRAL LIMIT OF THE BIPOLAR NAVIER-STOKES-POISSON SYSTEM

This paper is concerned with the quasi-neutral limit of the bipolar NavierStokes-Poisson system. It is rigorously proved, by introducing the new modulated energy functional and using the refined energy analysis, that the strong solutions of the bipolar Navier-Stokes-Poisson system converge to the strong solution of the compressible NavierStokes equations as the Debye length goes to zero. Moreover, if we let the viscous coefficients and the Debye length go to zero simultaneously, then we obtain the convergen...
