An unsteady flow refers to a fluid flow where the properties at a specific point in the flow field change with time. This could be due to variations in velocity, pressure, or density over time. It contrasts with steady flow, where these properties remain constant at any given point in the flow field over time.
What is a continuous flow and unsteady flow
The velocity is constant in a steady flow pipe while in the unsteady flow the velocity is not constant.

steady: A steady flow is one in which the conditions (velocity, pressure and cross-section) may differ from point to point but DO NOT change with time. unsteady: If at any point in the fluid, the conditions change with time, the flow is described as unsteady.

Steady flow: laminar flow over a sphere. Unsteady flow: turbulent flow over anything.

The equation assumes steady state or laminar flow and hence cannot be used for turbulent flows.
