Abstract We revisit the classical theory of multidimensional scalar conservation laws. We reformulate the notion of the classical Kruzkov entropy solutions and study some new properties as well as the well-posedness of the initial value problem with inhomogeneous fluxes and general initial data. We also consider Dirichlet boundary value problems. We put forward a new and transparent definition for solutions and give a simple proof for their well-posedness in domains with smooth boundaries. Finally, we introduce the notion of saturated solutions and show that it is well-posed.
