A quasi-neutral limit in a hydrodynamic model for charged fluids (Q1404224)

This paper considers the combined quasineutral and relaxation time limit for a bipolar hydrodynamic model. The limit problem is shown to lead to a nonlinear diffusion equation that describes a neutral fluid. Various entropy arguments are used, and the necessary strong convergence of the densities is obtained by using a variant of the ``div-curl'' lemma and monotonicity methods.
