Discrete stability estimates for the pressureless Euler-Poisson-Boltzmann equations in the Quasi-Neutral limit

Abstract

We propose and study a fully implicit finite volume scheme for the pressureless Euler-Poisson-Boltzmann equations on the one dimensional torus. Especially, we design a consistent and dissipative discretization of the force term which yields an unconditional energy decay. In addition, we establish a discrete analogue of the modulated energy estimate around constant states with a small velocity. Numerical experiments are carried to illustrate our theoretical results and to assess the accuracy of our scheme. A test case of the literature is also illustrated.
