Machine learning moment closure models for the radiative transfer equation IV: enforcing symmetrizable hyperbolicity in two dimensions

ArXi:2604.20143v1 Announce Type: cross This is our fourth work in the series on machine learning (ML) moment closure models for the radiative transfer equation (RTE). In the first three papers of this series, we considered the RTE in slab geometry in 1D1V (i.e. one dimension in physical space and one dimension in angular space), and Here, we extend our framework to the RTE in 2D2V (i.e. two dimensions in physical space and two dimensions in angular space). The main idea is to preserve the leading part of the classical $P_N$ model and modify only the highest-order block row.
