Conservative Lagrange-Galerkin schemes for the numerical solution of pure convection and hydrodynamic lubrication problems

In this thesis, we propose various contributions related to Lagrange-Galerkin methods applied to two fluid mechanics problems: pure convection equations and hydrodynamic lubrication. The first contribution of this thesis is an algorithm to solve pure-convection problems using a conservative Lagrange-Galerkin formulat...
