I mean, computational fluid dynamics is pretty mature now.

And if for some reason it doesn't work here, then that would be nice to know.

Besides, the experiments themselves are simulations.

I just spoke with an YC company. The CFD needed for their applications doesn't scale. There are plenty of reasons for experiments.
CFD is actually really hard to get right.

F1 teams for example constantly struggle getting their simulations to line up with their measurements.
