Hi,

Choosing between a steady-state and transient simulation depends on the behavior of the flow you are studying. If the flow shows transient behavior, such as time-dependent changes or fluctuations, a transient simulation is necessary. However, if the flow is expected to reach a steady state without time-dependent effects, a steady-state simulation may be sufficient.

Steady state: when you are interested in the final, stable state of the flow, where conditions do not change with time.

Transient state: when you need to capture the time-dependent behavior of the flow and pressure.
