d v ( t ) d t + a v 2 ( t ) + b P ( t ) = c
This is a first order non-linear differential equation. Unfortunately, I have no experience solving non-linear differential equations. From the research I have done, this type of equation looks similar to the Ricatti equation. Is there a closed form solution to the above equation? How can I solve this equation? I'm interested in getting a function that shows how the pressure or velocity of the system decays with time.
FYI: v(t) is velocity, P(t) is pressure, (a,b,c) are constants. Thanks!

It is in fact a Ricatti equation. To find an explicit solution you need first a particular solution. This can be difficult to find even when an explicit form for P is known.
