Table of ContentsReviews'This long-awaited second edition extends and updates an essential text in experimental fluid dynamics. The authors give expert guidance on all aspects of experimentation, clearly and completely. An ideal textbook for an advanced-level course, and required reading for everyone else, from undergraduates to experienced researchers alike.' Alexander J. Princeton University 'In 2005, I reviewed the first edition of Measurement in Fluid Mechanics by Professor Tavoularis. This welcomed second edition, now co-authored with Professor Nedić, also consists of two parts on background (Chapters 1–8) and measurement techniques (Chapters 9–15) but emphasises recent developments in instrumentation and data analysis. Therefore, the book has necessarily grown from 354 to 605 pages. Fortunately, the presentation style lends itself to instruction for undergraduates and self-learners by including numerous examples and chapter summaries. It will also ably serve as the textbook for an introductory graduate course in experimental fluid mechanics.' Louis Cattafesta, Illinois Institute of Technology 'Measurement in Fluid Mechanics is great for in-depth coverage of all measurement topics related to fluid mechanics. This is an excellent book for graduate students, but undergraduate students will also find enough information for their use. The book is very well organised and material is presented in a sequence that is easier to follow than in traditional books on this subject. There are numerous example problems that further clarify the underlying concepts. My favourite sections are 'Measurement Uncertaint' and 'Error Analysis. These complex topics have been explained in a form that is easy for both graduate and undergraduate students to follow and understand.' Mahesh Aggarwal, Gannon University Author InformationStavros Tavoularis is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa, where he has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in experimental fluid mechanics for more than forty years. Among other distinctions, he is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada. Jovan Nedić is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at McGill University, where his teaching focuses on measurement techniques and statistical methods in undergraduate fluid mechanics. He was awarded the 2023 Wighton Fellowship for innovative, distinctive, and exceptional undergraduate laboratory course instruction in Engineering.
