In this work, a quantum Taylor series expansion and Least squares-based Fractional-step Lattice Boltzmann Method (TLFS-LBM) is proposed to simulate incompressible flows on nonuniform meshes. Most existing quantum LBMs face two critical challenges: with the relaxation time s fixed at 1, a fixed mesh resolution corresponds to only a single Reynolds number, and the streaming step, typically implemented through the quantum walk method, is limited to uniform meshes. To address these issues, we retain τ=1 and decompose the quantum TLFS-LBM into predictor and corrector steps using a fractional-step method. The predictor step is implemented on a quantum circuit, but the resulting viscosity generally differs from the physical viscosity. A diffusion equation is therefore solved classically in the corrector step to restore the correct physical viscosity. Moreover, the streaming step is expressed in the form of A·feq using Taylor series expansion and least-squares approximation, with singular value decomposition applied to factorize matrix A into unitary matrices for quantum implementation. Since A depends solely on mesh point coordinates, the proposed method is applicable to arbitrary mesh types. Validation through two-dimensional incompressible isothermal and thermal flow simulations confirms that the quantum TLFS-LBM achieves accuracy comparable to its classical counterpart, while extending the applicability of quantum LBM to non-uniform meshes and curved boundaries.
