Also CFD guy, completely agree with the above.
Quantum computers have several algorithms for various applications, such ashort shors for factorization. Not aware of any algos for CFD.
Perhaps a rarefied gas dynamics, bolts man distribution sort of application could be created? At least in some cases quantum mechanical effects are significant...
I'm a CFD guy and I have absolutely no clue how anyone expects to get any aerodynamics simulation results out of that with anything resembling usefulness.
Really, even a super-simple 2D wing profile simulation that you can run in milliseconds even in javascript will require data storage that's absolutely massive compared to 2000 qubits.
