After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the basic analytic and numerical structures of hyperbolic conservation laws. Also, they can give a presentation about this topic and to write a seminar paper.
1. scalar conservation laws 2. linear hyperbolic systems, examples of nonlinear systems 3. shock and rarefaction waves, contact discontinuities 4. numerical methods for linear equations 5. computing discontinuous solutions 6. conservative methods for nonlinear problems 7. Godunov-scheme 8. appropriate Riemann solvers 9. nonlinear stability 10.high resolution methods 11.kinetic schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws 12.boundary conditions

Meeting-ID: 961 0029 2428Passwort: 3x527o31
good oral presentation, written seminar report, regular participation
For the own presentation 1-2 devices with camera (e.g. laptop and smartphone) are needed, depending on the technical setup.
Not necessary
