This report presents computations of the flowfield around an 80 degree sweep delta wing undergoing a constant roll-rate maneuver from 0 to 45 degrees. The governing equations for the problem are the unsteady, three- dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The equations are solved using the implicit, approximately-factored algorithm of Beam-Warming. Fixed roll angle results are also presented and compared with experimental measurements to demonstrate the ability of the numerical technique to accurately capture the flowfield around a rolled delta wing. The dynamic behaviors of the vortex position and strength, as well as their corresponding effect on surface pressure, lift and roll moment, are described. A simple, quasi-static explanation of these vortex behaviors based on effective angle-of-attack and sideslip angle is proposed ... Delta wing roll, Vortex dynamics, Vortical flow, Unsteady maneuver.
