This issue in-particular was because I had misimplemented the diagonal bounce in the algoritim. The simulator will still do this, particularly when the grid size is very small. I assume it has something to do with the speed of sound. I have validated that it is not to do with my implementation by running it under the same conditions as this page which was very helpful for understading LBM.
This was implemented as part of the blimp tool and is part of a blimp series of posts!
