The unsteady supersonic flow around a rigid sharp-edged delta wing is solved using the unsteady Euler and thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations. The problem is formulated relative to a moving frame of reference so that computation of the grid motion is not required. A three-dimensional, implicit, aproximately factored, central-differencing, finite-volume scheme is used to obtain the time-accurate, unsteady, locally conical flow. The inviscid and viscous results are compared during the periodic response of a wing undergoing forced rolling-oscillation motion. The results show substantial differences in the surface pressure results and other distributed flow characteristics. These differences are attributed to the inviscid and viscous flow predictions in the vortex-dominated regions. The results of the total loads do not show any significant differences.
