Matlab function GetPresW.m to retrieve consistent pressure from velocity.

function [P,Px,Py] = GetPresW(NumNod,NodNdx,Elcon,nn2nft,Xgrid,Ygrid,Q,EBCPr,nu)
%GETPRESW - Compute continuous simple cubic pressure and derivatives from (simple-cubic) 
%  velocity field on general quadrilateral grid (bilinear geometric mapping). 
%
% Inputs
%  NumNod - number of nodes 
%  NodNdx - nodal index into Xgrid and Ygrid  
%  Elcon  - element connectivity, nodes in element 
%  nn2nft - global number and type of (non-pressure) DOF at each node 
%  Xgrid  - array of nodal x-coordinates 
%  Ygrid  - array of nodal y-coordinates 
%  Q      - array of DOFs for cubic velocity elements 
%  EBCp   - essential pressure boundary condition structure
%    EBCp.nodn - node number of fixed pressure node 
%    EBCp.val  - value of pressure 
%  nu - diffusion coefficient 
% Outputs 
%  P  - pressure 
%  Px - x-derivative of pressure 
%  Py - y-derivative of pressure 
% Uses 
%  ilu_gmres_with_EBC - to solve the system with essential/Dirichlet BCs 
%  GQ3, GQ4, GQ5  - quadrature rules.
