Do I need to tell Google to crawl a domain has existed for years that is now pointing to a new domain with similar but different content?

I'm not looking to manipulate seo related things I'm just curious what I should do. Right now oldDomain.com points to newDomain.com with a server side redirect in nginx.

We have a robots.txt file and I'll be adding a robots meta tag throughout the old site application.

Is there a way I tell Google to remove oldDomain.com from search or will that happen organically with time? If I tell Google to index the site again will they see the no-index and remove?
