I don’t have the money to buy the cfd program and then it’s like another 80 bucks to even download a 3D model of the Ioniq
www.3dcadbrowser.com/3d-model/hyundai-ioniq-hybrid-2019

I don't know what they mean by 'Minimum account required: Free with uploads' but there is a download button. There're 3,145,818 polygons in 3ds Max.

Blender is Free and Open Source. That is it's strength.

edit: So, I looked around a bit. Everything seems to be 2-3 years old and a lot has changed in that time, Open VDB and Geometry Nodes for starters.

This provides a pipeline Flexi>Paraview>Blender.

In this post, we are going to show you how to take post-processed data from a CFD solver and render them in Blender, allowing you to present your simulation results in a eye-catching way. We are using data produced by FLEXI and post-process them using ParaView, but the procedure is applicable to other toolchains as well. The focus is on how to use Blender to render already post-processed data, so there will be no step-by-step instructions on how to obtain the data – only a rough overview will be given in that regard.
So, does Paraview support OpenVDB? From 2021-09:

build paraview with openvdb - ParaView Support - ParaView
We're in the process of updating the ParaView superbuild to include the third party libraries needed for this. The other option is for you to build the third party libraries (e.g. OpenVDB, Blosc, OpenEXR, TBB, etc.) yourself and make sure that CMake finds them properly during the ParaView configuration process.
Paraview is Open Source: https://www.paraview.org/overview/

IMHO the enabling technology is Geometry Node editing.
