Dear Jaekwank, In addition to what Daniel and Wolfgang said: One does definitely benefit from going to higher degrees and deal.II is able to handle this (the accurate boundary representation by a mapping is one thing that is easily forgotten). In a recent preprint, we considered the flow around a cylinder, a standard benchmark test for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1607.01323v1.pdf Go to page 23, Table 1, to see how the solution quality increases as the polynomial degree is increased from 4 to 7.
