Abstract

A general framework to extend the lattice Boltzmann equation to arbitrary lattice geometries is presented and numerically demonstrated for the case of a two-dimensional Poiseuille flow. The new scheme considerably extends the range of applicability of the Boltzmann method to problems requiring the use of nonuniform grids.
