This paper presents an aeroelastic modeling study of an aspect ratio 13.5 wind tunnel scale Common Research Model (CRM) with trailing edge mini-flaps. FUN3D is used for the aeroelastic steady and unsteady simulations at Mach 0.85 and dynamic pressure 230 psf. The aeroelastic simulation results are compared with the in-house developed VSPAERO aeroelastic model results. The incremental aerodynamic coefficients predicted by FUN3D and VSPAERO are close except when the mini-flap deflection angle is 10˚. The control reversal behavior is observed for the wing tip mini-flap. A series of dynamic pressure sweep simulations are performed to determine the control reversal onset point. Unsteady simulation results show that there is no buffet phenomenon observed at angle of attacks 0˚ and 2˚ when the mini-flap is deflected 10˚. The mini-flap oscillation simulations show the nonlinear behavior appears when the deflection angle is about 4˚.
