pimpleFoam vs simpleFoam vs pisoFoam vs icoFoam?

Quite confusing sometime !

But, why is that a problem needs boundary condition for U and p and all the other possible variables?

pisoFoam has relaxation coef while icoFoam does not have this.

pisoFoam is transient solver for incompressible flow.
Turbulence modelling is generic, i.e. laminar, RAS or LES may be selected.

simpleFoam is steady-state solver for compressible, turbulent flow
