Consistency and stability of boundary conditions for a two-velocities lattice Boltzmann scheme

We theoretically explore boundary conditions for lattice Boltzmann methods, focusing on a toy two-velocities scheme. By mapping lattice Boltzmann schemes to Finite Difference schemes, we facilitate rigorous consistency and stability analyses. We develop kinetic boundary conditions for inflows and outflows, highlighting the trade-off between accuracy and stability, which we successfully overcome. Consistency analysis relies on modified equations, whereas stability is assessed using GKS (Gustafsson, Kreiss, and Sundstr{\"o}m) theory and -- when this approach fails on coarse meshes -- spectral and pseudo-spectral analyses of the scheme's matrix that explain effects germane to low resolutions.
