SIMPLEC (SIMPLE-consistent) is selected by setting "consistent" option true/yes: SIMPLE { nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0; consistent yes; } which relaxes the pressure in a "consistent" manner and additional relaxation of the pressure is not generally necessary. In addition convergence of the p-U system is better and reliable with less aggressive relaxation of the momentum equation, e.g. for the motorbike tutorial: relaxationFactors { equations { U 0.9; k 0.7; omega 0.7; } } The cost per iteration is marginally higher but the convergence rate is better so the number of iterations can be reduced. The SIMPLEC algorithm also provides benefit for cases with large body-forces, e.g. SRF, see tutorials/incompressible/SRFSimpleFoam/mixer and feature request http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1714
