  • Abstract

For flow simulations with complex geometries and structured grids, it is preferred for high-order difference schemes to achieve high accuracy. In order to achieve this goal, the satisfaction of free-stream preservation is necessary to reduce the numerical error in the numerical evaluation of grid metrics. For the linear upwind schemes with flux splitting the free-stream preserving property has been achieved in the early study [Q. Li et al., Commun. Comput. Phys., 22 (2017), pp. 64-94]. In the current paper, new series of nonlinear upwind-biased schemes through WENO interpolation will be proposed. In the new nonlinear schemes, the shock-capturing capability on distorted grids is achieved, which is unavailable for the aforementioned linear upwind schemes. By the inclusion of fluxes on the midpoints, the nonlinearity in the scheme is obtained through WENO interpolations, and the upwind-biased construction is acquired by choosing relevant grid stencils. New third- and fifth-order nonlinear schemes are developed and tested. Discussions are made among proposed schemes, alternative formulations of WENO and hybrid WCNS, in which a general formulation of center scheme with midpoint and nodes employed is obtained as a byproduct. Through the numerical tests, the proposed schemes can achieve the designed orders of accuracy and free-stream preservation property. In 1-D Sod and Shu-Osher problems, the results are consistent with the theoretical predictions. In 2-D cases, the vortex preservation, supersonic inviscid flow around cylinder at $M_\infty=4$, Riemann problem, and shock-vortex interaction problems have been tested. More specifically, two types of grids are employed, i.e., the uniform/smooth grids and the randomized/locally-randomized grids. All schemes can get satisfactory results in uniform/smooth grids. On the randomized grids, most schemes have accomplished computations with reasonable accuracy, except the failure of one third-order scheme in Riemann problem and shock-vortex interaction. Overall, the proposed nonlinear schemes have the capability to solve flow problems on badly deformed grids, and the schemes can be used in the engineering applications.
