+
+## Description
+
+This class enforces that temperatures match across the gap.  Specifically, the temperature on the secondary surface will match the temperature on the primary surface.  This is accomplished through a penalty constraint.  The residual is
+\begin{equation}
+  r = k (T_s - T_p)
+\end{equation}
+where $k$ is the penalty value, $T_s$ is the temperature on the secondary surface, and $T_p$ is the temperature on the primary surface.
