A time‐accurate solution method for the incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations in generalized moving coordinates is presented. A finite volume discretization method that satisfies the geometric conservation laws for time‐varying computational cells is used. The discrete equations are solved by a fractional step solution procedure. The solution is second‐order‐accurate in space and first‐order‐accurate in time. The pressure and the volume fluxes are chosen as the unknowns to facilitate the formulation of a consistent Poisson equation and thus to obtain a robust Poisson solver with favourable convergence properties. The method is validated by comparing the solutions with other numerical and experimental results. Good agreement is obtained in all cases.
