Justin, The proper boundary condition for a moving cylinder would be a no-slip condition. The math is nearly identical for a moving cylinder as if it was stationary, just preformed in a moving reference frame. There are one or two publications on Overture describing how the Navier-Stokes equations are transformed to be used with moving grids. You would only use a slip condition if the surface should not develop a boundary layer on it. In your case, a cell in a channel, you require a no-slip condition on the cylinder.
