French term or phrase: mailles de calcul
The text is from an assessment of wave and flooding damage from violent hurricanes


Les vitesses d’écoulement, qui peuvent être quantifiées par un modèle bi-dimensionnel, sont ainsi très sensibles à des paramètres comme le frottement, la taille des mailles de calcul ou la prise en compte des obstacles à l’écoulement (ouvrages, bâti, clôtures,…) et restent soumises à de fortes incertitudes.

English translation:calculation mesh
Explanation:
See the discussion box. I'm not totally clear what it means, but it seems the simplest solution.

This is from a book on fluid dynamics:

The concentration equation is solved by finite difference methods, using the same calculation mesh as in the flow calculation.

agree  Philippe Etienne: this mesh is a "wireframe" modelling a "system", each of the resulting areas and boundaries is governed by equations, solved numerically (by computers) to convey the system's state at a given time (or with given parameters)

Explanation:
And I think it's talking about either the grid size or the grid cell size

neutral  philgoddard: A grid is more or less the same as a mesh, except it may have bigger holes. And there is a separate French word for it, "grille".

Reference information:
Ces mailles sont les surfaces élémentaires du modèle en "fil de fer" d'un système, avec des conditions sur les nœuds et les côtés.
Généralement, plus la maille est grande, moins le modèle est représentatif de la réalité, en tous cas pour un système complexe.
