Thefirstkind ofschemesareevolutionGalerkinschemes(EG) which are truly multidimensional schemes and the second kind is a new space-timeconservative central-type method which we name a slope propagation (SP) method.Our first scheme is an extension of the EG schemes for hyperbolic systems from rectan-gular to triangular meshes. We develop EG schemes for the linear wave equation system,the nonlinear wave equation system, the linearized Euler equations, the advection waveequation system and the nonlinear Euler equations for structured/unstructured triangularmeshes. We have also extended these EG schemes on triangular meshes to second order byusing linear reconstruction.
