to go out through the filter.
доста сериозен проблем.
is a pretty serious problem.
to go out and buy a plane,
компјутерска флуидна динамика
with computational fluid dynamics,
is create these simulations
in and taking readings in the plane.

is you would start out
in technical papers around the Internet.
into this 3D-modeling software,

the computer can better understand it.

the computer calculates the simulation.

this mean for the world?

that I built over here,
airflow patterns coming down,
actually cost the world
