In this paper we give a summary of the partial moment approach for radiative transfer, combined with a minimum entropy closure. This approach is a generalization of the moment approach. We review some well-established models, like the method of Spherical Harmonics, Discrete Ordinates, diffusion, higher-order diffusion and flux-limited diffusion. We present numerical examples, where different methods are compared.
