In this short note, we present a flux-correction form of the third-order edge-based scheme for the Euler equations that enables the direct use of a general flux function. The core idea is to replace, without loss of accuracy, the arithmetic average of the flux extrapolations by a general numerical flux evaluated at the edge midpoint, together with a correction term. We show that the proposed flux-correction form preserves third-order accuracy, provided that the general numerical flux is evaluated with the left and right states that are computed exactly for a quadratic function, which can be achieved effectively by the U-MUSCL scheme with κ = 1/2. Numerical results are presented to verify third-order accuracy with the HLLC and LDFSS flux functions on irregular tetrahedral grids.
