Currently 2nd-order ddt is supported for moving meshes but is not reliable for

topology change due to the difficulty in estimating

the old-time and old-old-time properties for a newly created cell and for these
estimates to be conservative.

It may be possible to handle topology changes with CrankNicolson accurately but

will require the scheme to be implemented at a higher-level,
probably in the solver itself so that the details of the fluxes are known and
operator-splitting can be applied.

In order to apply the backward scheme with topology change the Euler scheme would
need to be applied to the newly created cells.
Some investment will be needed for these developments.
