Robust adaptive mesh refinement for transonic conditions is one of the most difficult challenges to advancing CFD usage for certification by analysis. Transonic fluid-structure interaction cases represent an even more difficult challenge for adaptive mesh refinement. Production aircraft furthermore have structural models that have gaps and discontinuities that make the interdomain transfer of loads and deflections difficult. This adds to the challenge of adaptive mesh refinement. An initial attempt to create an adaptive mesh refinement process that refines regions of high flow gradient based around the HeldenMesh software is presented. The method is applied to the Integrated Adaptive Wing Technology Maturation (IAWTM) configuration. That has developed an aspect ratio 13.5 wing aeroelastic wind-tunnel model for testing in the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel (TDT). The high levels of deformation of this wing make the adaptation of meshes for the static shape difficult and has necessitated some creativity in how to efficiently adapt meshes. A time-domain identification of the unsteady system based on flexible modes using the adapted meshes is performed.
