1. Symmetries and conservation laws
Abstract : Conservation laws play an important role in science. The aim of this thesis is to provide an overview and develop new methods for constructing conservation laws using Lie group theory. The derivation of conservation laws for invariant variational problems is based on Noether’s theorem. READ MORE

2. Discrete Kinetic Models and Conservation Laws
Abstract : Classical kinetic theory of gases is based on the Boltzmann equation (BE) which describes the evolution of a system of particles undergoing collisions preserving mass, momentum and energy. Discretization methods have been developed on the idea of replacing the original BE by a finite set of nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs corresponding to the densities linked to a suitable finite set of velocities.

3. Uncertainty Quantification and Numerical Methods for Conservation Laws
Abstract : Conservation laws with uncertain initial and boundary conditions are approximated using a generalized polynomial chaos expansion approach where the solution is represented as a generalized Fourier series of stochastic basis functions, e.g. orthogonal polynomials or wavelets. READ MORE

4. Reconstruction Techniques and Finite Volume Schemes for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
Abstract : This thesis concerns the numerical approximation of the solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws. In particular the research work focuses on reconstruction techniques; the reconstruction being the key ingredient in modern finite volume schemes aiming to increase spatial order of accuracy.

5. Conservation Laws, Numerical Schemes and Control Strategies for Sedimentation and Wastewater Treatment
Abstract : A consistent theme throughout this thesis is quasilinear partial differential equations (PDEs) appearing in one-dimensional models of sedimentation for solid-liquid separation of suspensions. We mainly focus on continuous sedimentation in so-called clarifier-thickeners (CTs), which are found in mineral processing and wastewater treatment. READ MORE
