This case has been developed as is part of the exaFOAM project that aims to enable the open-source CFD software OpenFOAM to exploit massively parallel HPC architectures and overcome performance scaling bottlenecks. The geometry files represent a simplified vehicle at nominally 1/3rd scale, with non-complex geometry: stub wheels, smooth underbody, generically inclined vehicle front, and with flat roof, sides and rear. The only geometric complexity comprises the side-view mirror and rounded A-Pillar, which are taken from production vehicles in order to measure the realistic aerodynamic and acoustic perturbations in the wake of these components (nominally the vehicle side-glass). Detailed information and case setup can be found in the README PDF file or the README.md file contained in the case setup file.
