SIMPLE algorithm

In computational fluid dynamics (CFD), SIMPLE algorithm is a widely used numerical procedure to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. SIMPLE is an acronym for Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations.

The SIMPLE algorithm was developed by a CFD group working under Prof. Brian Spalding at Imperial College, London in the early 1970s.

Many popular books on computational fluid dynamics discuss the SIMPLE algorithm in detail.^[1]^[2] This algorithm forms the basis of Commercial CFD packages.^[3]

A modified variant is the SIMPLER Algorithm (SIMPLE Revised), that was 1979 introduced by Patankar.
