This paper is devoted to the numerical approximation of a hyperbolic non‐equilibrium multiphase flow model with different velocities on moving meshes. Such goal poses several difficulties. The presence of different flow velocities in conjunction with cell velocities poses difficulties for upwinding fluxes. Another issue is related to the presence of non‐conservative terms. To solve these difficulties, the discrete equations method ( J. Comput. Phys. 2003; 186 (2):361–396; J. Fluid. Mech. 2003; 495 :283–321; J. Comput. Phys. 2004; 196 :490–538; J. Comput. Phys. 2005; 205 :567–610) is employed and generalized to the context of moving cells. The complementary conservation laws, available for the mixture, are used to determine the velocities of the cells boundaries. With these extensions, an accurate and robust multiphase flow method on moving meshes is obtained and validated over several test problems with exact or experimental solutions.
