You can get predictable and repeatable results but they are unlikely to represent anything like the real world. I put up a thread on MicroCFD. Using that it gives you drag and even lift calculations. It also allows you to scale your object to the correct size. I plots pressure, vorticity, temp, and can plot stream lines.

Note its not free but it has a free 3 day trial. You can work around that if so desired.
