Abstract: Mixed-moment models, introduced before for one space dimension, are a modification of the method of moments applied to a (linear) kinetic equation, by choosing mixtures of different partial moments. They are well-suited to handle such equations where collisions of particles are modelled with a Laplace-Beltrami operator. We generalize the concept of mixed moments to two dimension. The resulting hyperbolic system of equations has desirable properties, removing some drawbacks of the well-known MN[1] model. We furthermore provide a realizability theory for a first-order system of mixed moments by linking it to the corresponding quarter-moment theory. Additionally, we derive a type of Kershaw closures for mixed- and quarter-moment models, giving an efficient closure (compared to minimum-entropy models). The derived closures are investigated for different benchmark problems.
