🐮👍 In case you were wondering...

When someone asks why engineers decide to simulate Computational Fluid Dynamics on a cow…

Running a full CFD airflow simulation on a farm animal to analyze drag and turbulence.

With an estimated drag coefficient around 0.5, a cow generates a surprisingly massive turbulent wake.

Theoretical physics calculations prove a cow would actually generate enough lift to take off at 1,000 km/h.

The ultimate demonstration of high-level scientific software being used for pure internet curiosity.

Would you test a cow’s aerodynamics in a real-life wind tunnel if you had the chance?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
