Keywords: unstructured, tetrahedral, navier-stokes, control, drag

A new passively porous boundary condition has been implemented into the NASA TetrUSS USM3Dns tetrahedral unstructured Navier-Stokes flow solver. Selected results are summarized from its application to conformal control effectors on a generic General Aviation wing and an advanced fighter configuration, and for reducing drag on a ground transport vehicle.
