Flows of one-dimensional continuum in Lagrangian coordinates are studied in the paper. Equations describing these flows are reduced to a single Euler-Lagrange equation which contains two undefined functions. Particular choices of the undefined functions correspond to isentropic flows of an ideal gas, different forms of the hyperbolic shallow water equations. Complete group classification of the equation with respect to these functions is performed.Using Noether's theorem, all conservation laws are obtained. Their analogs in Eulerian coordinates are given.
The one-dimensional shallow water equations in Eulerian coordinates are considered. Relations between symmetries and conservation laws for the potential form of the equations and symmetries and conservation laws in Eulerian coordinates are shown. An invariant difference scheme for equations in Eulerian coordinates with arbitrary bottom topography is constructed. It possesses all the finite-difference analogs of the conservation laws. Some bottom topographies require moving meshes in Eulerian coordinates, which are stationary meshes in mass Lagrangian coordinates. The developed invariant conservative difference schemes are verified numerically using examples of flow with various bottom topographies.
