Wave Breaking Simulations

All of these simulations have the same initial condition, and are at Ra=5 x 10⁸. The bottom simulation is at Pr=10³, while the upper two are at Pr=1. The upper two cases differ only in their resolution. The top simulation is based on 300 elements of polynomial order 16, while the lower two simulations are based on 1200 elements of polynomial degree 18. The same timestep size is used for all cases.
