Abstract

In this contribution, which is based on the results published in Barletti (J Math Phys 55:083303, 2014) and Barletti et al. (Tr Inst Mat 11:11–29, 2014), we apply the maximum entropy closure technique in order to derive equations of hydrodynamic type for a system of particles with spin-orbit interaction, with particular focus on the case of electrons on a graphene sheet.
