difference between output Zone ventilation Standard density volume flow rate et Zone Mechanical Ventilation Standard Density Volume flow rate

I have a very simple simulation with an idealload air object.

I have a DesignSpecification:OutdoorAir where I defined a zone flow rate of 2m3/s.

I specified this object in the idealload object.

Looking to results, I have the good specified flow rate for the output Zone Mechanical Ventilation Standard Density Volume flow rate, but for the output Zone ventilation Standard density volume flow rate, the value is not exactly the same with some oscillation as shown in the attached picture.

I don't understand why. Someone has an idea ? C:\fakepath\Capture d’écran 2024-10-03 174429.PNG.jpg
