Abstract: Research presented in this paper illustrates the implementation of the transpiration boundary condition in steady and unsteady aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic simulations. For two reference cases, the AGARD 445.6 wing and the BACT wing with a finite-span flap, application of the transpiration method has demonstrated the effectiveness of applying the transpiration boundary condition at a variety of Mach numbers on configurations of practical interest. Additionally, the effectiveness of the transpiration method is demonstrated by its ability to model large scale continuous and discontinuous surface deflections without the computational expense of re-meshing at each CFD time-step.
