A flow field is simulated by a computational fluid dynamics code that uses the modified pressure in its calculations. A profile of modified pressure along a vertical slice through the flow is sketched in Fig. P10–14. The actual pressure at a point midway through the slice is known, as indicated on Fig. P10–14. Sketch the profile of actual pressure all along the vertical slice. Discuss.
