The three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged, Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are used to numerically simulate nonsteady vortical flow about a 65 degree sweep delta wing at 30 degrees angle of attack. Two large-amplitude, high-rate, forced-roll motions and a damped free-to-roll motion are presented. The free-to-roll motion is computed by coupling the time-dependent RANS equations to the flight dynamic equation of motion. The computed results are compared with experimental forces, moments, and roll-angle time histories. The overall agreement is good. Vortex breakdown is present in each case, which causes significant time lags in the vortex breakdown motions relative to the body motions. This behavior strongly influences the dynamic forces and moments.
