+The flat plate boundary layer example has custom meshing features to better resolve the flow when using a generated box mesh.
+These meshing features modify the nodal layout of the default, equispaced box mesh and are enabled via `-mesh_transform platemesh`.
+One of those is tilting the top of the domain, allowing for it to be a outflow boundary condition.
+The angle of this tilt is controlled by `-platemesh_top_angle`.
 
 The primary meshing feature is the ability to grade the mesh, providing better
 resolution near the wall. There are two methods to do this; algorithmically, or
