The guide covers two approaches:

Unsteady simulations can also use `SOLVER= EULER` for inviscid flow, or `SOLVER= NAVIER_STOKES` for laminar viscous flow. The general time-stepping controls below apply to these cases too.

The examples below focus on two turbulence-modelling approaches:

- **URANS** (unsteady RANS): the RANS equations solved in time. The turbulence model still models all turbulent eddies. URANS captures large, regular unsteadiness such as vortex shedding (advice).
3032
- **DES** (detached eddy simulation), a hybrid RANS/LES method: RANS near the walls, large-eddy simulation (LES) in separated regions. In LES, the mesh and the time step resolve the large turbulent eddies and the model handles only the small ones (advice).
