You can't set incomplete as a success/failure criterion without understanding what is happening in the flow. In a filter system with a poor choice of DPM boundary conditions incomplete could imply particles are stuck somewhere, so it's a success in that I've got 50% separation, or it could be a failure as I've only got 50% separation. In a combustor it means a portion of the fuel is floating around and we don't know why it's not burning or leaving the domain.
