What are the post processing tricks for water surface?

  I am resimulating a youtube video but my final animation doesn't have a smooth and fine water appearance like that photo, it shows exactly extremely rough. May I miss any settings? What can I do? First one is from Youtube and second is mine.

  Please can you plot the mesh surface with edges on? I suspect the difference is mesh resolution on the free surface. You can see the local refinement (adaption) on the side walls in the top image.

    I opened mesh surface adaptation. In the comments, YouTuber said that there were some post process adjustments.

  Possibly, but there's a reason I asked for the mesh image.

    First one is surface mesh adaptation. And second one is general mesh

  Edges not nodes, but the surface mesh looks very coarse. Did you run on following the mesh refinement?
