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.<ref>[https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME608/webpage/project-reports/SIMPLE-DrivenCavity.pdf SIMPLE solver for driven cavity flow problem]</ref>
Many popular books on computational fluid dynamics discuss the SIMPLE algorithm in detail.<ref>{{cite book |last=Patankar |first=S.
