Abstract
In this paper, we present some interesting connections between anumber of Riemann-solver free approaches to the numerical solutionof multi-dimensional systems of conservation laws. As a main part,we present a new and elementary derivation of Fey's Method ofTransport (MoT) (respectively the second author's ICE version ofthe scheme) and the state decompositions which form the basis of it.The only tools that we use are quadrature rules applied to themoment integral used in the gas kinetic derivation of the Eulerequations from the Boltzmann equation, to the integration in timealong characteristics and to space integrals occurring in the finitevolume formulation. Thus, we establish a connection between theMoT approach and the kinetic approach. Furthermore,Ostkamp's equivalence result between her evolution Galerkin schemeand the method of transport is lifted up from the level ofdiscretizations to the level of exact evolution operators,introducing a new connection between the MoT and theevolution Galerkin approach. At the same time, we clarifysome important differences between these two approaches.
