AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">In this study, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is implemented through
a finite-volume approach to perform 2-D, incompressible, and turbulent fluid flow
analyses on structured grids. Even though the approach followed in this study necessitates
more computational effort compared to the standard LBM (the so called
stream and collide scheme), using the finite-volume method, the known limitations of
the stream and collide scheme on lattice to be uniform and Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy
(CFL) number to be one are removed. Moreover, the curved boundaries in the computational
domain are handled more accurately with less effort. These improvements
pave the way for the possibility of solving fluid flow problems with the LBM using
coarser grids that are refined only where it is necessary and the boundary layers might
be resolved better.</p>
