It doesn't explicitly have internal boundary conditions, but they can be easily implemented with source terms. FiPy does not allow the mesh to move during the simulation, so no Lagrangian style boundary conditions. However, internal moving boundary conditions can often be implemented with an Eulerian approach. Cheers -- Daniel Wheeler
