Default How to improve the resolution in openFoam

Hello everyone,
I am using OpenFOAM v6 to do some 3D combustion simulation which also produces shocks. My cases are running but the resolution is so poor. I am currently utilizing a structured mesh of 10 Million cells. My current fvschemes file is given below.

So, my goal is to increase the resolution. How can I achieve that?

Do I adjust the schemes or the mesh?

In terms of schemes, which schemes can I use to get a good resolution?

In terms of mesh size, if I change to unstructured mesh with 25 - 30 million cells will increase my resolution considerably.

Thanks for the answer.

Code:
fluxScheme		Kurganov;

ddtSchemes
{
    default         Euler;
}

gradSchemes
{
	default         Gauss linear;
}

divSchemes
{
       	default        Gauss linear;
	div(tauMC)     Gauss linear;
        div(phi,Yi_h)  Gauss vanLeer;
}

laplacianSchemes
{
		default			Gauss linear corrected;	
}

interpolationSchemes
{
    default             linear;
    reconstruct(rho)    Minmod;
    reconstruct(U)      MinmodV;
    reconstruct(e)      Minmod;
    reconstruct(p)      Minmod;
    reconstruct(c)      Minmod;
    reconstruct(Y)      Minmod;
    reconstruct(T)      Minmod;
}  

snGradSchemes
{
		default				corrected;
}
