What does one cubic yard per minute represent?

It represents the volume of a 3-foot by 3-foot by 3-foot cube of fluid passing a point every minute.

Why convert cubic yard/minute to cubic meter/second?

Converting to cubic meter/second enables standardized SI unit measurements widely used in engineering and scientific contexts.

Can this conversion handle fluctuating flow rates?

No, this conversion assumes steady flow and does not account for varying or pulsatile flow conditions.
