The hydrodynamic moment equations for a quantum system described by a two-band kp Hamiltonian are derived. In the case of pure states, it is proved that the order-0 and order-1 moment equations yield a closed system which is the two band analogue of Madelung's fluid equations.

Vengono dedotte le equazioni per i momenti idrodinamici di un sistema quantistico descritto da un'Hamiltoniana kp a due bande. Nel caso di stati puri si dimostra che le equazioni dei momenti di ordine 0 e di ordine 1 forniscono un sistema chiuso che costituisce l'analogo a due bande delle equazioni del fluido di Madelung.
