18.3.2 The SIMPLEC Algorithm

The SIMPLEC algorithm follows the same steps as except that $u'\, \sum a_{nb}$ is subtracted from both sides of equation ([*]). This leads to the term Af/aP being replaced with

\begin{displaymath}\frac{A_f} {a_P - \sum_{nb} \, a_{nb} }
\end{displaymath} (18.31)

in both the terms in the pressure correction equation and the calculation of the velocity corrections.
