Yes, I want to get a time averaged steady state. I am able to do this
with another (pressure correction) solver, was just comparing.
And you gave me a very good hint: I do not have a turbulence model,
but I have streamline diffusion, which if increased, makes the crash
go away, which indeed seams to indicate a singular system.

Thanks,
Dominik
