Computational results are presented for transient vortex breakdown above a delta wing subject to a pitch-and-hold maneuver to high angle of attack. The flows are simulated by solving the full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations on a moving grid using the implicit Beam-Warming algorithm. An assessment of the effects of numerical resolution and favorable comparison with experimental data suggest the computational approach captures the basic dynamics of the onset and initial stages of transient breakdown. The pressure gradient along the vortex axis is found to play a dominant role in the initiation of breakdown
