Abstract: In this paper, we study the convergence of time‐dependent Euler–Poisson equations to incompressible type Euler equations via the quasi‐neutral limit. The local existence of smooth solutions to the limit equations is proved by an iterative scheme. The method of asymptotic expansion and the symmetric hyperbolic property of the systems are used to justify the convergence of the limit.

Keywords: Euler–Poisson equations, incompressible Euler equations, quasi‐neutral limit, asymptotic expansion and justification
