LBM is no longer just a theoretical tool; it’s widely used in industry:

It’s not a magic bullet. LBM is generally restricted to flows (subsonic), as it struggles with high-speed compressibility. It also requires more memory than some traditional methods because it stores more information at every single grid point. LBM is no longer just a theoretical tool;
LBM offers several "quality of life" advantages over traditional methods: The Lattice Boltzmann Method: Principles and Pr...
