Summary0003542: Consistent SIMPLE(C) not available in lagrangian PIMPLE-based solvers
DescriptionDear developers,

I was wondering whether there is a particular reason for lagrangian solver class not to support consistent SIMPLE (SIMPLEC) approach within the PIMPLE pressure coupling. I don't consider it a must feature but I'm interested to hear whether it is a rational decision and perhaps related to lagrangian source terms?

Actually, I first noticed this because I was using a consistent keywork in fvSolution but didn't see any difference in solver performace. Perhaps a Warning message could be added to solvers which are not supporting SIMPLEC to prevent user misunderstandings / mistakes.

Steps To ReproduceSee e.g. sprayFoam solver pEqn.H

We don't have any Lagrangian cases for which it would be clearly beneficial.

It would a substantial undertaking to add and maintain warning messages about functionality not present in all solvers.

I agree with you, haven't seen any clear benefits either. Thank you for clarification.
