This book focuses on the interplay between Eulerian and Lagrangian
conservation laws for systems that admit physical motivation and
originate from continuum mechanics. Ultimately, it highlights what is
specific to and beneficial in the Lagrangian approach and its numerical
methods. The two first chapters present a selection of well-known
features of conservation laws and prepare readers for the subsequent
chapters, which are dedicated to the analysis and discretization of
Lagrangian systems.
The text is at the frontier of applied mathematics and scientific
computing and appeals to students and researchers interested in
Lagrangian-based computational fluid dynamics. It also serves as an
introduction to the recent corner-based Lagrangian finite volume
techniques.
