Moment transport equations and their application to the perturbed universe

There are many inflationary models that allow the formation of the large-scale structure of the observable universe. The non-gaussianity parameter fNL is a useful tool to discriminate among these cosmological models when comparing the theoretical predictions with the satellite survey results like those from WMAP and Planck. The goal of this proceeding contribution is to review the moment transport equations methodology and the subsequent calculation of the fNL parameter.
