The SIMPLE algorithm was developed by Prof. [[Brian Spalding]] and his student [[Suhas 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>{{cite document|citeseerx=10.1.1.734.2028|title=SIMPLE solver for driven cavity flow problem}}</ref><ref>{{cite conference |last1=Mangani |first1=L. |last2=Bianchini |first2=C. |conference=[[Proceedings of the OpenFOAM International Conference 2007]] |year=2007 |url=https://flore.unifi.it/retrieve/handle/2158/418277/15222/OFIC-07.pdf |title=Heat transfer applications in turbomachinery |accessdate=2016-03-16}}</ref>

Many popular books on computational fluid dynamics discuss the SIMPLE algorithm in detail.<ref>{{cite book |last=Patankar |first=S.

A modified variant is the ''SIMPLER'' algorithm (SIMPLE Revised), that was introduced by Patankar in 1979.<ref>{{cite book |last=Tannehill|first=J. C.| authorlinkauthor-link = |author2 = [[Dale A.
