My gut feeling is that this is a low-cost,2-dimentional CFD program,that they don't achieve a critical Reynolds number flow,and while interesting to watch,and trends may be reflected,we'd want an expensive,corporate-level,3-D program to provide a more real-world representation of how things would be.
I don't think the streamline filaments would behave the way they're depicted.
