As you want to simulate a process I think, the problem will be unsteady and in the case of transient or unsteady simulations PISO sounds to be more effective in comparison with SIMPLE or SIMPLEC.
thank you very much. The SOLA algorithm is non-iterative and has the benefits of cpu time reduction. Could you introduce me a good source for studying PISO?
The following literature may be useful for your research
Free surface flow and application to filling and solidification of liquid metals
Abstract: A three dimensional control volume, free surface technique of Scalar Equation Algorithm has been developed as an attachment to PHOENICS and Harwell Flow 3D CFD codes.The filling model without heat transfer and solidication has been validated against experimental data in both water experiments and actual mould filling experiments.It has been compared against predictions from SOLA- VOF and MAC methods.
Numerical simulation related to casting needs several algorithms and modeling techniques as follows:
1) PISO :coupling flow field to pressure in case of unsteady problem
2) SOLA-VOF will be required to solve free surface(this is fixed grid method; there are some alternatives for solving free surface depending on accuracy and time consumption)
3) enthalpy method to solve phase change phenomena
4) numerical models for solving magnetic field coupled with flow field
SIMPLE or SIMPLEC are not good for unsteady analysis so you have to select PISO algorithm to couple the flow field characters of velocity and pressure depend on your investigations.
