Several different interpolation schemes have been proposed for improving the accuracy of lattice Boltzmann simulations in the vicinity of a solid boundary. However, these methods require at least two or three fluid nodes between nearby solid surfaces, a condition that may not be fulfilled in dense suspensions or porous media for example. Here we propose an interpolation of the equilibrium distribution, which leads to a velocity field that is both second-order accurate in space and independent of viscosity. The equilibrium interpolation rule infers population densities on the boundary itself to reduce the span of nodes needed for interpolation; it requires a minimum of one grid spacing between the nodes. By contrast, the linear interpolation rule requires two fluid nodes in the gap and leads to a viscosity-dependent slip velocity, while the multireflection rule is viscosity independent but requires a minimum of three fluid nodes.
