Three-dimensional simulation of slender delta wing rock and divergenceComputational simulation of three-dimensional flows around a delta wing undergoing rock and roll-divergence motions is presented. The problem is a multidisciplinary one where fluid-dynamics equations and rigid-body-dynamics equations are sequentially solved. For the fluid-dynamics part, the unsteady Euler equations, which are written relative to a moving frame of reference, are solved using an implicit, approximately-factored, central-difference, finite-volume scheme. For the rigid-body dynamics part, the Euler equation of rigid-body rolling motion is solved using a four-stage Runge-Kutta scheme. Since the applications do not include deforming wings or relative-rigid-body motions, the computational-fluid-dynamics grid, which is fixed in the moving frame of reference, does not need to be updated once it is generated.
