Which of these methods is used in the compressible flows to find the densities at the faces?(a) Central difference(b) Upwind difference(c) Rhie-chow interpolation(d) Weighted averageI have been asked this question during an internship interview.My doubt stems from Compressible Flows in section Incompressible Flows & Compressible Flows of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) UPWIND difference

The explanation: The central difference SCHEME (or linear interpolation profile) produces OSCILLATIONS at high speeds. So, a bounded upwind FIRST or higher-order equation is used to get the density VALUES at the interfaces.
