If one truncates the moment hierarchy to a finite order, the resulting set of balance equations requires some closure assumption because the number of unknowns exceed the number of equations. In the classical and semiclassical kinetic theory a sound approach to get the desired closure relations is that based on the Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP) (Jaynes in Phys Rev 106:620–630, 1957) [see Camiola et al. (Charge transport in low dimensional semiconductor structures, the maximum entropy approach. Springer, Cham, 2020) for charge transport in semiconductors]. In Romano (J Math Phys 48:123504, 2007) a quantum MEP hydrodynamical model has been devised for charge transport in the parabolic band approximation by introducing quantum correction based on the equilibrium Wigner function (Wigner in Phys Rev 40:749–749, 1932). An extension to electron moving in pristine graphene has been obtained in Luca and Romano (in: Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti—Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, [S.l.], p. A5, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1478/AAPP.96S1A5).
