This dataset contains a small (1.7M hexahedron mesh) Cart3D test case for the triceratops geometry. The geometry is open source, so there are no issues passing this to outside collaborators. Cart3D is a high-fidelity flow analysis package for conceptual and preliminary aerodynamic design. Cart3D uses "Cartesian" meshes with Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR). The mesh is somewhat like a an octree, but without a single root node. This is sometimes referred to as a "forest of octrees". The data are "cell centered," i.e., the data are per hexahedron.
