This master's thesis focuses on the Lattice Boltzmann Method, an alternative to conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics, which provides significant computational cost savings by employing a regular lattice independent of the geometry considered instead of a structured or unstructured mesh which itself may prove to be a labor and CPU-intensive complex task, especially for complex geometries. The computational efficiency of the LBM, the simplicity of the algorithm, and the ease with which this method allows complex geometries to be dealt with promise numerous advantages in complex industrial flow applications even in the supersonic and hypersonic ranges. This work is a follow-up of the LBMHYPE project, an ESA TRP research project involving a partnership between the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, École Polytechnique, Université Paris Sud Saclay and CENAERO.
