Hi, I have a general CFD question: what are the telltale signs that convergence problems with a steady solution may be due to transient effects being present (which might indicate the need to switch to a transient solver)?

I am trying to run some incompressible simulations of internal flow in valves using FLUENT and I am having some problems with getting good convergence. The flow patterns are complicated and there is quite a bit of separation, so I am wondering if I should switch to the transient solver. Thanks.
