Yes and no. The empirical study could identify correlations and the strength of those correlations, but does nothing to say why they are correlated (maybe just spurious). But a CFD analysis may give you insight into what may be happening to cause the issue, which can then lead to a hypothesis that can then be tested further. All models are wrong, but some are useful.
