Dear Earl and Wolfgang, Thanks for the very thorough answer. I will definitely look into it this year and try to come up with a solution. I think there are many ways to tackle this type of approach using the existing tools :) I'll keep you informed should I find a way to make a decent implementat

As far as I know, there is no slide mesh function per say; however, deal.ii does have a rotate mesh function which is pretty straightforward to use. Presumably if you apply a cylindrical mesh in the airgap with a known number of uniform segments, you can rotate the mesh by an angle corresponding to

Hello everyone, As some of you might know, sliding mesh approaches are generally used in CFD simulation of rotating geometries without axial symmetry (for instance, an impeller with baffles). This is generally achieved by having two triangulation, one that is rotating and one that is static. At
