	I don't know who uses it but a freind of mine works for a company
called Ricadro that has a software package deisgn specificly to do
computation fluid dynamics for intakes of I.C. engines. I beleive it is
intended for designing of intakes but I'm sure the data could be used
for other things. I imagine it is rather expensive.
