Oh, sure, just assume a Saddam Hussein in an open room instead of accounting for the entrance hidden by rubble blocking outflow. Classic engineers.

"What are the Reynolds and Mach numbers for the airflow through the rubble?"

"OK, surely he's got temperature and pressure measurements there?"

"He did provide a CAD model of the bunker, right?"

"Does anyone have a miniature Saddam Hussein for wind tunnel testing to validate our CFD model?"

Assume a spherical Suddam in a vacuum.

I'm no expert, but what would be the benefit of finding the aerodynamics of a spherical Saddam... in a vacuum? I guess it would be easy to calculate at least

Next time do better - finding him was not very challenging this time! 😜

Pretty good

If his head and feet were gone, he may make a pretty decent airfoil. Fix the angle of attack.
