The refined mesh pressure correspond better with the experimental data.

This means that our mesh is refine enough and the solution obtained using the original mesh is probably good enough.
Do keep in mind that one would have to make more detailed comparisons between the solutions on the two meshes before we can make a definitive statement about the mesh independence of our results. What can you say about mesh refinement after comparing the results?
