Hi Lorenzo,

yes, 2nd order in space and 1st order in time. There is currently no FE scheme.

The solutions in multiphase simulations often have low regularity because of 
discontinuous parameters and/or jumps in primary variables such as saturation, 
so higher order doesn’t help. In cases with higher regularity, it has been 
enough so far to just refine the grid (AFAIK). 

If you want to implement higher order FE scheme such as higher order DG for 
porous media, have a look at dune-pdelab / dune-fem (general discretization 
modules) or just dune-functions (global/grid finite element functions).  

Hope that helps
Timo
