50 MPH with 60 degrees of deflection. I'd have to say you will have horrible flow separation as well. That would yield a horribly complicated flow field. It would be a lot more complicated than flow through a curved tube. I'm not sure you will get the accuracy you are looking for. You can always guestimate.

If you get a chance, take some CFD classes if your school offers any. You'll be able to input geometries and compute pressure distribution fields on anything you want.

Here is one I did a while back in school. The pressure distribution on an Eppler 423 at Re = 300,000 and at 5 degrees angle of attack. I don't have the scale with it. The file has been converted so many times that it isn't as pretty as the day I made it.
