Example: Calculating the Pressure Field in Cylindrical Coordinates

[Ex] Consider a steady, two-dimensional, incompressible velocity field expressed in cylindrical coordinates \((r,\theta,z)\), with the axis aligned along the \(z\)-direction. The velocity components are given by \[ u_r = 0, \qquad u_\theta = \frac{K}{r}, \] where \(K\) is a constant.

Assume that the flow is independent of \(z\) and that body forces are negligible. Determine the pressure field \(p(r,\theta)\) associated with this flow.
