### Flux condition on an internal surface

Hi every one

I'm currently solving the poisson equation and I would like to add an internal condition.

Let's say I'm solving the heat equation and I want to add a contact thermal resistance (CTR). This CTR is described as a temperature discontinuity on a surface as follow:
$T^--T^+=CTR\cdot q$TT+=CTR·q
where q is the thermal flux.

Do you have any idea how to implement this kind of condition in FEniCS (let's take the poisson.py demo)?

Thanks a lot for your precious help!

What does your code look like, and where are you stuck?

Hi,

My code is able to simulate heat transfer, identify subdomains (volumes and surfaces) based on XDMF attributes. I can easily apply different materials properties and boundary conditions of any kind on the external surfaces. But I would like now to apply a Contact Thermal Resistance (CTR) on an internal surface between two subdomains to model imperfect contact between them.

I don't know how to implement this in the weak formulation.

Thank you very much for your help
