Finite Volume for Conservation Laws

This repository contains several finite volume methods for solving a hyperbolic conservation law of the form

$$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial f(u)}{\partial x} = 0.$$

The package inludes several different numerical fluxes and some specific equations. Some examples are given in the scripts/ folder. Currently, only one space dimension is supported.
