HarryMann,

Not sure, as I have no expertise in the field myself. I was referring to what somebody far cleverer than I told me when visiting a wind tunnel test facility. He seemed to be saying that in the low-speed, high-alpha regime particularly, there were simply too many variables to produce a solid deterministic model, as opposed to computers running out of steam.

Apparently they have it pretty much nailed for high-speed stuff, though.
