The description of mesh evolution during a transient computation with moving walls and mesh adaptation has to respect many rules. Using a good mesh for each computational time step is important for accuracy of results. The complexity of geometry can make this objective more complex. A method has been developed to obtain a good moving mesh description with complex boundary geometry. It is based on a local observation of boundary movement and can be resumed by two main ideas: • Add cells where the volume of solution domain increases. • Slide the mesh where the boundary has a tangential displacement.
