At 1/4-scale you'll need a minimum 80 mph to fix your Cd / turbulent boundary layer.
The 2-D simulation won't help as a predictor for 3-D behavior,especially the wake.
Edge radii for the greenhouse is an extermely important parameter with fastback architecture,it's a pity that the really good Navier-Stokes equation with spherical coordinate system software is beyond the reach of mortal men.
Best to you! Looks like a fun project.
