Here, we present a high-order sharp treatment of immersed moving domain boundaries and material interfaces, and apply it to the advection-diffusion equation in two and three dimensions. The spatial discretization combines dimension-split finite difference schemes with an immersed boundary treatment based on a weighted least-squares reconstruction of the solution, providing stable discretizations with up to sixth order accuracy for diffusion terms and third order accuracy for advection terms. The temporal discretization relies on a novel strategy for maintaining high-order temporal accuracy in problems with moving boundaries that minimizes implementation complexity and allows arbitrary explicit or diagonally-implicit Runge-Kutta schemes. The approach is broadly compatible with popular PDE-specialized Runge-Kutta time integrators, including low-storage, strong stability preserving, and diagonally implicit schemes. Through numerical experiments we demonstrate that the full discretization maintains high-order spatial and temporal accuracy in the presence of complex 3D geometries and for a range of boundary conditions, including Dirichlet, Neumann, and flux conditions with large jumps in coefficients.
