These ROMs are formulated in a way that preserves fundamental physical properties of the TRT solution. This is achieved with a combined approach using both nonlinear projective techniques and data-driven methods of approximation. The Boltzmann transport equation is projected onto a series of subspaces to derive a hierarchy of moment equations that are closed by nonlinear functionals with dependence on the Boltzmann solution. The Eddington tensor that provides exact closure for the moment equations is approximated by the proper orthogonal decomposition and dynamic mode decomposition in the entire phase space and time. The resulting model has the same dimensionality as the multigroup P_1 model for TRT. The performance of the developed ROMs is demonstrated on the Fleck-Cummings test problem in 2D Cartesian geometry. A significant reduction in dimensionality is achieved compared to the full-order model. The proposed approach to model reduction can be extended to a wide class of multi-physical problems of high-energy density physics (e.g. radiation hydrodynamics).
