A local mode Fourier analysis is used to assess the suitability of the SIMPLE pressure‐correction algorithm to act as a smoother in a multigrid method. The necessary ellipticity of the Navier‐Stokes equations and their discrete representation are established. The theoretical analysis is compared with practical results.
