SUMMARY
The Eulerian view is valid for both steady and unsteady flows, contrary to the belief that it only applies to steady flows. The discussion clarifies that both the Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of a flow field are applicable regardless of the flow's steadiness. This means that the Eulerian perspective can effectively analyze unsteady flow conditions without restrictions on velocity constancy.
