Hi,

Steady-state simulations may have difficulty converging if the flow is unsteady since the flow dynamics are complex and potentially time-dependent. Residuals rising after approaching convergence indicates the presence of transient effects that cannot be captured accurately in a steady-state. The difficulties with steady-state convergence and the nature, a transient simulation is recommended. This approach will allow you to capture the time-dependent turbulence and pressure changes more accurately.
