SIMPLEC algorithm
open-in-new
<p>The SIMPLEC (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations-Consistent) algorithm; a modified form of <a href="/facts/SIMPLE_algorithm/Wo36xVHU">SIMPLE algorithm</a>; is a commonly used numerical procedure in the field of <a href="/facts/Computational_fluid_dynamics/zuWdtNJp">computational fluid dynamics</a> to solve the <a href="/facts/Navier%E2%80%93Stokes_equations/48pQugEa">Navier–Stokes equations</a>. </p><p>This algorithm was developed by Van Doormal and Raithby in 1984. The algorithm follows the same steps as the <a href="/facts/SIMPLE_algorithm/Wo36xVHU">SIMPLE algorithm</a>, with the variation that the momentum equations are manipulated, allowing the SIMPLEC velocity correction equations to omit terms that are less significant than those omitted in SIMPLE. This modification attempts to minimize the effects of dropping velocity neighbor correction terms. </p>
