The condition sets the static pressure at the patch \( p_p \) based on a specification of the total pressure, \( p_0 \). The mode of operation is determined via the input entries and the dimensions of the convective flux, phi ( \( \phi \)).
Patch pressure described by subtracting the dynamic pressure from the total pressure, where the flux has dimensions of \( m^3/s \).
\[ p_p = p_0 - \frac{1}{2}\mag{\u}^2 \]
