in SPECFEM3D_GLOBE use a potential of (rho * u) instead of u in the fluid, in case of fluid-fluid discontinuities #28

in SPECFEM3D_GLOBE use a potential of (rho * u) instead of u in the fluid, in case of fluid-fluid discontinuities; probably already done in SPECFEM3D because of purely acoustic oil industry problems, but not done in SPECFEM3D_GLOBE because there is no first-order discontinuity inside the fluid outer core therefore it is not needed; thus this point is not needed except if we decide to use SPECFEM3D_GLOBE for other problems one day, for instance helioseismology

could be useful, but another option would be to merge SPECFEM3D_GLOBE into SPECFEM3D_Cartesian, as mentioned in another issue, because SPECFEM3D_Cartesian already has that.

komatits commented 9 years ago

Not really needed (we should either permanently merge SPECFEM3D_GLOBE into SPECFEM3D, if so this will happen automatically, or there is no need to do it because there are no fluid-fluid first-order discontinuities in global Earth models).

Will be done automatically if https://github.com/geodynamics/specfem3d_globe/issues/26 is done.

komatits commented 9 years ago

Not needed, since we will finally NOT merge SPECFEM3D_GLOBE into SPECFEM3D.
