when to stop a smoke simulation?

I am trying to simulate a simple wind tunnel test with a continuous wind flow inside a constant volume with one static building object as collision.

I have run it for 240 frames, I find that the length and angle of velocity vector constantly keeps changing through out the volume.

How do we determine when to stop the simulation? Is there a way we can let the simulation settle and converge to a point beyond which there is minimal change in velocity vector?
