Particles is what its mostly used for, for obvious reasons: many (/most) gamers dont have physx enabled hardware, therefore its used for eye candy that can easily be turned off without affecting actual gameplay.
That doesnt mean its not usable for physics simulation like aerodynamics. Surely you've seen all the hydrodynamics simulations. If it works for water, I dont see why it couldnt work for air:
