which compressible solver is appropriate for steady state problems?

Hi
who can help with the question?
I used rhoPimpleFoam and rhoCentralFoam too,but the don't accept steadyState ,coEuler or localEuler in time scheme so that it can be possible to have a steady state run.

Sorry I work with unsteady cases and had forgotten about rhoSimpleFoam.

AFAIK, there are only a few solvers that fit the profile (partial reference: http://www.openfoam.com/features/standard-solvers.php):

rhoSimpleFoam:

rhoLTSPimpleFoam - it's rhoPimpleFoam with LTS:
