abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">The high-order gas-kinetic scheme (HGKS) has achieved success in simulating compressible flows with Cartesian meshes. To study the flow problems in general
geometries, such as the flow over a wing-body, the development of HGKS in general
curvilinear coordinates becomes necessary. In this paper, a two-stage fourth-order gas-kinetic scheme is developed for the Euler and Navier-Stokes solutions in the curvilinear coordinates from one-dimensional to three-dimensional computations. Based on
the coordinate transformation, the kinetic equation is transformed first to the computational space, and the flux function in the gas-kinetic scheme is obtained there and
is transformed back to the physical domain for the update of flow variables inside
each control volume. To achieve the expected order of accuracy, the dimension-by-dimension reconstruction based on the WENO scheme is adopted in the computational domain, where the reconstructed variables are the cell averaged Jacobian and the
Jacobian-weighted conservative variables. In the two-stage fourth-order gas-kinetic
scheme, the point values as well as the spatial derivatives of conservative variables at
Gaussian quadrature points have to be used in the evaluation of the time dependent
flux function. The point-wise conservative variables are obtained by ratio of the above
reconstructed data, and the spatial derivatives are reconstructed through orthogonalization in physical space and chain rule. A variety of numerical examples from the
accuracy tests to the solutions with strong discontinuities are presented to validate the
accuracy and robustness of the current scheme for both inviscid and viscous flows.
The precise satisfaction of the geometrical conservation law in non-orthogonal mesh is
also demonstrated through the numerical example.</p>},
