Mesh generation has been an important topic of research for the past four decades, primarily because it is one of the critical elements in the numerical simulation of fluid flows. One of the main current issues in this regard is mesh generation and flow solution on domains with moving boundaries. In this research, a novel scheme has been proposed for mesh generation on domains with moving boundaries, with the location of boundary nodes known at any particular time. A new set of linearized equations is derived based on a full nonlinear elliptic grid generation system. The basic assumption in deriving …
