Fluid dynamics is a useful, but simplistic model. It's not actually true, but can accurately model truth.

Do you have a better model?
Better for what? Fluid dynamics is actually great for a huge number of stations. For pure realism you can use Quantum Mechanics, but good luck simulating that for a protean let alone a 747.

My point was you can still find a lot real world issues for example wing icing. So, that you need to be aware of what you are and are not simulating.
