The max Mach number is 1.0, and yes 35 TB (ouch.)  By steady state I meant that 
despite being turbulent that the solution parameters are accurate; eventhough, 
they may be cyclic.  I suppose if I were to start from the coarse refinement 
linear mesh consisting of 10.5e+06 hexes, the memory requirement for a p4 mesh 
is still ~6.0TB.  I think this answers my question.  Thanks!
