Even CFD analysis is a model though, with all that implies. Would a large, blind empirical study be more trustworthy?

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.
