Dear fipy users and developers,

I'm beginning my adventure with computer modelling in FiPy (which is a great software), and I have some questions considering a modelling of the superlattice.

I have a paraelectric/ferroelectric (PE/FE) superlattice, consist of ferroelectric and paraelectric layers. The aim of the simulation is to calculate the polarization and electrostatic potential distribution versus temperature.

Because I have different sets of equations for P and \phi in PE and FE I've decided to make two meshes, one with FE layer and second with PE layer.

The problem I have is to incorporate boundary conditions. I have a boundary conditions in a form (at the interface between FE and PE layers) {latex}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\partial \phi^f}{\partial z} - \epsilon_p \frac{\partial \phi^p}{\partial z} & = & 4 \pi P, \label{pefe1}\\
    \phi^f & = & \phi^p, \label{pefe2}\\
    \frac{\partial P}{\partial z} & = & \lambda P \label{pefe3}
\end{eqnarray}

The question I would like to ask is: how to incorporate those conditions and join these two meshes together.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully yours,
Dariusz Kedzierski
