In this article we present a fluid dynamical model for the charge transport in semiconductors based on a recently found asymptotic solution of the semiconductor Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) for strong fields.

In this paper we consider an extended thermodynamic model for degenerate gases in which the first twenty moments of the gas distribution function are used as state variables. Exploiting the maximum entropy principle, we determine an analytic expression for the non-equilibrium distribution...
