New Revision: 21985

Added:
   seismo/3D/SPECFEM3D/trunk/doc/USER_MANUAL/manual_SPECFEM3D_Cartesian.pdf
Modified:
   seismo/3D/SPECFEM3D/trunk/doc/USER_MANUAL/manual_SPECFEM3D_Cartesian.tex
Log:
added a comment about fluid-solid matching inside the CPML;
also restored doc/USER_MANUAL/manual_SPECFEM3D_Cartesian.pdf, which needs to be there because it is used on the CIG web site
(the link to the manual points to this SVN file; thus please do NOT remove it)

 SPECFEM3D Cartesian includes coupled fluid-solid domains and
 adjoint capabilities, which enables one to address seismological inverse problems, but for linear rheologies only so far.
 To accommodate visco-plastic or non-linear rheologies, the reader can refer to

 However this is not implemented yet.
 
+Note: in the case of fluid-solid layers in contact, the fluid-solid interface currently needs to be flat and horizontal
+inside the CPML layer (i.e., bathymetry should become flat and horizontal when entering the CPML); this (small) constraint
+will probably remain in the code for a while because it makes fluid-solid matching inside the CPML much easier.
