Why do we need time step for steady-state solvers as simpleFoam? I mean, in the Navier Stokes equations, time doesn't appear, so there are only iterations as SIMPLE algorithm says... So what is the meaning of time steps and delta t in controldict? Why do we have to specify a deltat? Thank you very much indeed!! and sorry for my silly question
