Pressure continuity ($[p]=0$)

For an inviscid interface with no surface tension, continuity of normal traction reduces to continuity of pressure. The same condition is used in a sharp Darcy law interface model that neglects capillary pressure and resolved interfacial viscous normal stress. For a general viscous interface, continuity of normal traction balances the full stress tensor; it does not by itself imply continuity of pressure.
