Airflow past an automobile (modeled after a Saturn SL2) at 55 miles per hour is simulated. The model is quite detailed and includes the wheels, recessed headlights, and a spoiler. This tetrahedral mesh contains 447,180 nodes and 2,801,488 elements. At each time step, a system of equations with 1,638,389 unknowns is solved using matrix-free iterations
