Hello folks,
I have a question for you guys working in industry / using / developing commercial codes:
In numerics research, there's a trend towards high order methods, high meaning significantly larger than 2, so maybe starting from 4 to about 16. For many (not all) flow situations, high order methods are usually superior in terms of efficiency and accuracy to first and second order schemes, but they come a price: They are usually more difficult to program, less stable (which I believe to be a good thing) and require more user knowledge.

I was wondering if there are any commercial codes out there that actually take advantage of higher order methods, or if you guys can observe a trend towards them, as in academia.... or might it just be that it will take a couple of years until they are adopted by the developers of commercial code?

Please give me your thoughts/comments on this matter!

Thanks and cheers!
