We introduce two new approaches, called A-LSOB and N-MR, for boundary and interface-conjugate conditions on flat or curved surface shapes in the advection-diffusion lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The Local Second-Order, single-node A-LSOB enhances the existing Dirichlet and Neumann normal boundary treatments with respect to locality, accuracy, and Péclet parametrization. The normal-multi-reflection (N-MR) improves the directional flux schemes via a local release of their nonphysical tangential constraints. The A-LSOB and N-MR restore all first- and second-order derivatives from the nodal non-equilibrium solution, and they are conditioned to be exact on a piece-wise parabolic profile in a uniform arbitrary-oriented tangential velocity field. Additionally, the most compact and accurate single-node parabolic schemes for diffusion and flow in grid-inclined pipes are introduced. In simulations, the global mass-conservation solvability condition of the steady-state, two-relaxation-time (S-TRT) formulation is adjusted with either (i) a uniform mass-source or (ii) a corrective surface-flux. We conclude that (i) the surface-flux counterbalance is more accurate than the bulk one, (ii) the A-LSOB Dirichlet schemes are more accurate than the directional ones in the high Péclet regime, (iii) the directional Neumann advective-diffusive flux scheme shows the best conservation properties and then the best performance both in the tangential no-slip and interface-perpendicular flow, and (iv) the directional non-equilibrium diffusive flux extrapolation is the least conserving and accurate. The error Péclet dependency, Neumann invariance over an additive constant, and truncation isotropy guide this analysis. Our methodology extends from the d2q9 isotropic S-TRT to 3D anisotropic matrix collisions, Robin boundary condition, and the transient LBM.
