The overall goal of the course is that the graduate student should acquire basic knowledge in modern numerical methods for non-linear conservation laws, with a focus on fluid models.

Important examples of such models are the Euler equations of gas dynamicsand the shallow water equations, both of which are simplifications of the Navier-Stokes equations. These
models are used in the design of aircraft and wind turbines, as well as in climate system research.

The course discusses so called finite volume methods for discretizing the models -- their derivation, convergence and stability properties, --- and touches upon higher order extensions.

The discretization often leads to large nonlinear systems of equations. The course presents iterative methods for solving these -- such as Multigrid and Newton-Krylov. Their convergence properties are discussed, with a particular focus on systems arising from the
above discretizations.
