In summary, CFD simulation is a useful tool in Aero experiments for predicting and analyzing flow behavior and aerodynamic characteristics of objects. To conduct a simulation, information such as geometry, fluid properties, and conditions is needed. Commonly used software for CFD simulation includes ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, and STAR-CCM+. Benefits of using CFD simulation include cost-effectiveness and deeper understanding of flow physics, but limitations include reliance on models and computational resources.

When I was 10, I threw a paper airplane off the Empire State Building. It flew across the street and leveled out around the 30th floor of a nearby building. The plane hovered in front of a single window for 5 or 10 minutes until someone finally opened the window and shooed it away. So, the fan video doesn't look too unusual to me. 
Related to Looking for CFD simulation help on this Aero experiment
1. How can CFD simulation be used in an Aero experiment?
CFD simulation can be used in an Aero experiment to predict and analyze the flow behavior and aerodynamic characteristics of the object being tested. This allows researchers to gain a better understanding of the forces and pressures acting on the object, and make improvements to its design.
