Usage notes
Garner's Modern English Usage (4th ed) has an entry for flatulate, discussing the attestation history and lexicographic coverage of this verb and some of its synonyms. As with the other main bodily functions (such as urination, defecation, and vomiting), register governs the choice of synonym in a given context; flatulate serves formal registers well (such as in medical publications), whereas fart, although it is easily English's dominant synonym of the semantic field for this concept, is usually considered a casualism suited only to informal registers. Thus flatulate is to fart as urinate is to piss and as defecate is to shit.
