In [[computational fluid dynamics]] (CFD), '''SIMPLE algorithm''' is a widely used [[numerical algorithm|numerical procedure]] to solve the [[Navier-Stokes equation]]s. ''SIMPLE'' is an acronym for Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations.
The SIMPLE algorithm was developed by Prof. [[Brian Spalding]] and his student [[Suhas Patankar|S V Patankar]] at [[Imperial College London|Imperial College]], London in the early 1970s. Since then it has been extensively used by many researchers to solve different kinds of fluid flow and heat transfer problems.
Many popular books on computational fluid dynamics discuss the SIMPLE algorithm in detail.<ref>{{cite book |last=Patankar |first=S.
