The Verdict
Use Euler Equations if: You want they are essential for modeling scenarios where viscous effects are negligible, such as supersonic flows around aircraft or gas dynamics in stars, providing a foundation for more complex models like the navier-stokes equations and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Burgers' Equation if: You prioritize it is used in simulations of traffic flow, gas dynamics, and shock wave propagation, helping validate code for more complex systems like the navier-stokes equations over what Euler Equations offers.
