| Abstract: | We consider smooth solutions of the Euler‐Poisson system for ion dynamics in which the electron density is replaced by a Boltzmann relation. The system arises in the modeling of plasmas, where appear two small parameters, the relaxation time and the Debye length. When the initial data are sufficiently close to constant equilibrium states, we prove the convergence of the system for all time, as each of the parameters goes to zero. The limit systems are drift‐diffusion equations and compressible Euler equations. The proof is based on uniform energy estimates and compactness arguments. |
