Kevin,
I don't mind running any profiles you have in mind - it may take awhile

to

get to though since I am getting a bit behind on other commitments.

Also, I

have to limit myself to 2D since I don't have the time or the computing
power to run any 3D.  It would really help alot if you can supply a

profile

to scale in IGES or DXF format but a sketch will do in a pinch.

Dan,
Is the simulation software available for others to run?  I ask because I

have a 2

x 1GHz CPU Win2000 server sitting idle at home during the day.

Yes, of course.  It was created as an opensource code meaning it is free to
use and modify.  This is from an earlier post:

I have been searching for inexpensive CFD code for awhile and found this
navier-stokes solver freeware called ADFC which was written by a masters

or

phd candidate from spain.  You can find the software at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/adfc/.  A couple caveats though.  (1) It
only runs with a poor quality pre/post processor called GiD
(http://www.gid-usa.com/) which is not free but relatively inexpensive and
(2) the solver manuals and tutorials are in spanish.  The solver and
pre/post software are supposedly capable of 3D solutions, but I havn't
endeavored there yet.

You can download the GiD pre/post processor and get a one month free usage.
Beyond that it costs $300.
