Default pressure term in NS eqn

hello,

i would like to verify something:

for a FVM(3D),

is del(p)/del(x) same as (after integrating & approx)

[summation of faces(p(face) * nx * area]/Vol

where p(face) is the interpolated pressure at face nx = outward unit normal vector

I've got this derivation for cartisian coordinates, & i'm wondering if it can be applied to structured grids as well.

hope someone can advise.

Thanks

or put it simply,

I need to evaluate u(*)=u+ (delta_t)*[del(p)/del(x)] in a structured grid.

For a FVM cell,

how should I evaluate del(p)/del(x)?

Thanks!
