Mohsen Sadr, Nicolas G. Hadjiconstantinou, M. Hossein Gorji

Abstract: Highlights•Generate samples from distribution defined by small number of its moments.•Solution based on entropic optimal transport.•Resulting distribution is well defined for all realizable moments.•Samples generated using efficient Monte Carlo algorithm.•Validated using DSMC simulations of rarefied gas hydrodynamics.
