CFD (computational fluid dynamics) models are only as good as the highly skilled analysts who use them. They spend a lot of time "verifying the model". This is analystspeak for adjusting the inputs until the model gives correct answers. The verification needs to be done on a model that is similar to the problem under study and where the solution is well known. Wind tunnels will not go away any time soon.
