In free-surface flows, such as breaking ocean waves, the momentum field will have a discontinuity at the interface between the two immiscible fluids, air and water, but still be smooth in most of the domain. Using a higher-order numerical method is more efficient than increasing the number of low-order computational cells in areas where the solutio...
