Default Airfoil conditions for unsteady flow

Hi Guys, I was talking to a colleage today about a code I've been working on. I'm solving the transonic flow around a moving airfoil. I have taken the boundary condition on the airfoil to be that of flow tangency - my colleage informs me that in unsteady flow the flow is not really tangential to the moving airfoil surface.

Could someone please let me know why? I'm pretty confused over this issue. Dave
