Experiment was carded out using a low-speed wind tunnel that has a test section of 3.5 m(W) × 2.45 m(H) × 8.7 m(L). The angle of attack of the delta wing ranges from 10° to 30°. The free stream velocity is fixed at 20 m/s, which corresponds to Reynolds number of 0.88 × 10^6 Computations using the mass-averaged implicit 3D Navier-Stokes equations were applied to predict the complicated vortical flow over the delta wing. The governing equations were discretized in space using a fully implicit finite volume differencing formation. The standard k-ε turbulent model was employed to close the governing equations.
