This paper reviews recent developments in Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) methods for modeling high speed compressible multimaterial flows in complex geometry on general polygonal meshes. We only consider the indirect ALE approach which consists of three key stages: a Lagrangian stage, in which the solution and the computational mesh are updated; a rezoning stage, in which the nodes of the computational mesh are moved to improve grid quality; and a remapping stage, in which the Lagrangian solution is transferred to the rezoned mesh.
