My son tells me that there is a pre-alpha version of a CFD program related to a Half Life 2 plugin, called Garry's Mod is being developed. The key thing that makes this very interesting, is that it will be able to convert SketchUp models and run them in a 3D wind tunnel!

I'm hoping to hear more about the development of this program, and maybe ask to be a beta tester! If anybody else has heard about this, or knows more about it -- I'm all ears!
