Quasineutral limit of the viscous quantum hydrodynamic model for semiconductors

The quasineutral limit (zero-Debye-length limit) of viscous quantum hydrodynamic model for semiconductors is studied in this paper. By introducing new modulated energy functional and using refined energy analysis, it is shown that, for well-prepared initial data, the smooth solution of viscous quantum hydrodynamic model converges to the strong solution of incompressible Navier–Stokes equations as the Debye length goes to zero.
