In this paper, we discuss the notion of discrete conservation for hyperbolic conservation laws. We introduce what we call a fluctuation splitting schemes (or residual distribution, also RDS) and show on several examples how this cal lead to new development. In particular, we show that most, if not all known schemes can be rephrased in flux form, and also show how to satisfy additional conservation laws. This review paper is built on [1,2,3,4,5].This paper is also a direct consequence of the work of P.L. Roe, in particular [6,7] where the notion of conservation I will discussed is first introduced. In [8], P.L. Roe mentions the Hermes project, and the role of Dassault Aviation in it. I was suggested by Bruno Stoufflet, now Vice-President R&D and advanced business in this company, to have a detailed look at [7]. To be honnest, at the time, I did not understood anything, and this was the case for several years. I was lucky to work with Katherine Mer, at the time a postdoc, now research engineer at CEA, and she helped me a lot in starting to understand this notion of conservation. The present contribution can be seen as what I managed to understand after many years playing around the very productive notion of residual distribution schemes (or fluctuation splitting schemes), introduced by P. L. Roe.
