A 3D Navier-Stokes solver has been developed to simulate laminar compressible flow over quadrilateral wings. The finite volume technique is employed for spatial discretization with a novel variant for the viscous fluxes. An explicit three-stage Runge-Kutta scheme is used for time integration taking local time steps according to the linear stability conditions derived for application to the Navier-Stokes equations. The code is applied to compute primary and secondary separation vortices at transonic speeds over a 65 deg swept delta wing with round leading edges and cropped tips. The results are compared with experimental data and Euler solutions, and Reynolds number effects are investigated.
