Abstract English The topic of this thesis is the study of finite volume methods for<br> <br> hyperbolic conservation laws on non-uniform meshes. A high-order<br> <br> hyperbolic reconstruction method is presented. The method is<br> <br> constructed for quadrilateral meshes, since more realistic hyperbolic<br> <br> problems involve more complicated problem domains than the standard<br> <br> rectangular ones. The method is an extension of the well known<br> <br> Piecewise Hyperbolic Method (PHM), which is known to yield sharp<br> <br> resolution around corners in the solution compared to other<br> <br> reconstruction methods of the same order. Furthermore, the method is applied in a moving mesh adaptive framework in order to better resolve discontinuities without increasing<br> <br> computational costs. The moving mesh method employed is further developed to work with higher order reconstructions.
